Bathroom Faucet Parts

Fontana Faucet Parts::

• Faucet Handle: The faucet handle is the part of the faucet that allows users to control the flow of water and adjust the water temperature. It comes in different styles, including single-handle faucets, which offer easy one-handed operation, and double-handle faucets, where separate handles control hot and cold water. Lever handles are popular for their modern and sleek design, while cross handles are more traditional in appearance.
• Spout: The spout is the visible portion of the faucet from which water flows into the sink. Fontana offers a variety of spout designs, ranging from classic high-arching spouts to more contemporary waterfall-style spouts. The choice of spout style depends on personal preference and the overall design of the bathroom.
• Cartridge: The cartridge is a vital internal part of the faucet that controls the flow of water. In single-handle faucets, the cartridge is responsible for mixing hot and cold water to get the desired water temperature. It also enables smooth handle operation. There are two common types of cartridges: ceramic cartridges and cartridge-based cartridges. Ceramic cartridges are known for their durability and lifetime, while cartridge-based cartridges are easily replaceable.
• Aerator: The aerator is a small mesh-like device that fits onto the end of the faucet spout. It serves multiple purposes, including reducing water consumption by mixing air with the water, preventing splashing, and providing a steady, even flow of water. Aerator designs can vary, with some offering adjustable water flow options.
• Escutcheon Plate: The escutcheon plate is a decorative cover that conceals the holes in the sink or countertop through which the faucet is mounted. In addition to providing an aesthetic touch, it also helps to prevent water from seeping beneath the faucet and causing damage to the countertop.

Fontana Shower Parts:

• Shower Head: The shower head is a critical part of the shower system, responsible for delivering water to the user. Fontana offers a wide range of shower head styles, including rainfall shower heads that mimic the feeling of natural rain, handheld shower heads that provide flexibility and convenience, and adjustable spray pattern shower heads that provide to different preferences.
• Shower Handle: Similar to the faucet handle, the shower handle allows users to control the water flow and adjust the water temperature. Depending on the shower system, there can be separate handles for controlling the flow and temperature or a single handle that serves both functions.
• Shower Arm: The shower arm is a pipe that connects the wall plumbing to the shower head. It positions the shower head at the desired height and distance from the user for a comfortable shower experience. Some shower arms are adjustable, allowing users to lean or angle the shower head as per their preference.
• Shower Valve: The shower valve is a crucial part that controls the flow and temperature of the water in the shower system. There are two common types of shower valves: thermostatic valves and pressure-balancing valves. Thermostatic valves maintain a constant water temperature, even if there are fluctuations in water pressure due to other appliances being used simultaneously. Pressure-balancing valves prevent sudden changes in water temperature when, for example, someone flushes a toilet or uses water elsewhere in the house.
