How Shower Mixer Taps Operate

How does a mixer tap work?

Mixer taps link to both cold and hot water sources, blending their flows to create a warm water stream when turned on. They employ ceramic disc cartridges for smooth, durable operation, outlasting rubber or plastic jumper valves.

How do you control temperature and flow on a mixer tap?

Mixer tap handles control two variables:

• Temperature: turn the handle left or right.
• Flow intensity: move the handle forward or backward.
