A water distributor is necessary to divide one water supply line into several branches and to control the water flow in each of them.
A faucet controls the flow of water from a supply line to a tap or spout, allowing the operator to start, stop and regulate the stream with a simple lever or knob. The valve inside opens and closes against a seal, directing water through the spout when turned on and shutting it off when turned off. This mechanism gives instant control over temperature and pressure without wasting water or risking scalds, which is essential on a busy catering worktop where multiple tasks share the same sink.
To use the faucet, the operator fits it to the supply line with the inlet connection, then mounts the spout or tap body to the worktop or sink deck. Once the water is turned on at the mains, the lever or knob is turned to open the valve, releasing water through the spout. Turning the control in the opposite direction closes the valve, stopping the flow. The design ensures that the water is directed precisely where needed, whether filling a pot, rinsing vegetables or cleaning utensils.
The faucet is constructed from brass, a metal chosen for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to withstand the constant exposure to water and cleaning chemicals found in professional kitchens. The brass body is chromed, a finish that protects the metal from tarnishing and makes the surface easier to wipe clean after use. The weight of 0.13 kg reflects the compact size of the unit, allowing it to be fitted to most standard taps without adding noticeable load to the worktop or sink assembly.
Cleaning is straightforward: the chrome surface can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove water spots and grease. The smooth finish prevents dirt from adhering, so regular wiping keeps the faucet looking new and maintains hygiene standards in the kitchen.
