ABOUT BATH FAUCETS

The most basic type of bath faucet provides a completely separate faucet for the hot and cold water. Increasingly, bath faucets take the form of mixer taps, which mix the hot and cold water to provide a single stream of warm water. Mixer taps often use a single valve whose handle moves up and down to control the amount of water, and side to side to control water temperature. The most sophisticated designs have a built in thermostat, which keeps the mixed water at a constant desired temperature. Thermostatic mixer faucets can be either mechanical or electronic.

Most bath faucets are made of cast brass, which is usually chromium plated. Alternative finishes include gold plating, antique brown plating, and natural brass.
