When it comes to choosing sink faucets for your home or office, it’s not always easy to make a choice as there are several options to choose from. In this article, we will walk you through the four different types of sink faucets commonly found in homes to help you make the right choice.
As the name suggests, ball faucets feature a single handle and a rotating ball-shaped cap located inside the faucet’s assembly. The rotating ball, also known as lever ball assembly, has multiple chambers and slots built into it. The slots in the lever ball assembly align with hot and cold water inlet seats inside the faucet’s assembly to control the flow and temperature of the water exiting the ball faucet. The water flow, pressure, and temperature depend on the position of the ball. The single handle can move up and down or side to side to control the position of the rotating ball.
It was a late Saturday night. We had a super stubborn clog in some old galvanized pipes. Mr. Rooter send out Phil. Phil was great! He found the problem pretty quick. With determination and professionalism he final got it cleared out. I would recommend Mr. Rooter and Phil to anyone! He even cleaned up. We are so happy we choose Mr. Rooter!
We had a plumbing emergency and found Mr. Rooter while frantically searching for a 24-hour plumber. We feel like we hit a gold mine. Not only did we get a timely response. Everyone at Mr. Rooter was friendly, professional, competent and went above and beyond. Our plumber, Phil, was extremely helpful and gave us tips we could use moving firwars. Not to mention, the cost was extremely reasonable.
Had sewer water backup in toilet and tub. Received callback as promised and arrived early. The tech determined we needed the main line to be cleared. He quickly located the opening and had us cleared in minutes. Very happy with the service. I was not prepared for the fee but it was an emergency.
Plumber, Phil, came out on short notice on a Saturday night and fixed our issue quickly, professionally and courteously. I contacted a different, well known plumbing company right before Mr. Rooter. The receptionist was rude and they didn’t call me back to say they couldn’t make it until after Phil left! The Mr. Rooter receptionist was very nice and they called me back quickly. I’m glad they did.
I just wanted to say James did a great job at my house. Excellent service, professional and very nice. Thank you so much for helping me with my plumbing problem. Did wonderful job.
I was very happy that I went with Mr. Rooter’s. The service was very quick and up front. Jessie James was very helpful answering my questions and replacing my hot water heater. He was pleasurable to do business with. If another problem arises in my home, I will be using this company again.
A thorough, professional, pleasant experience. I had a back-up in the 50 year-old pipes of my new home. I called Mr. Rooter to have them locate the blockage, snake the line, and then use their video snake to get a visual of the integrity of the pipes. I’m glad that I called and will use them again for future needs.
You get what you pay for. Edwin Robles of Central NJ educated me as a 1st time homebuyer on why and what he was repairing, prevention, PROMPT,(on a sunday at that!) clean, knowledgeable, super professional but DOWN TO EARTH and at a REASONABLE PRICE! Sewer pipes unclogged and main water line fixed. I was no longer crying once job was thoroughly executed. After all $#@* $tinks but somebody has to do it and I HIGHLY recommend him and this company for a job well done. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Absolutely lovely office staff! I always knew when the repair person was coming. Lorenzo our repair guy was awesome, I really don't think there is anything he can't do. He looks young, but don't let that fool you! So happy all the repairs are behind us. We really just did a one-stop shopping and decided to have everything we've put off fixed because it was such a tremendous experience!
Ball faucets were the first faucets designed without rubber washers, which is why they are common in older homes. However, these faucets are more prone to leaks, so they require more maintenance than other types of sink faucets.
These are more mode sink faucets as compared to ball faucets. Disc faucets feature a single handle over a wide cylindrical body. The large, cylindrical body contains two ceramic discs inside a chamber known as the pressure balance cartridge. When a disc faucet is tued off, the upper disc and lower disc are pressed together to form a watertight seal, which blocks the flow of water. When you lift the handle, the two discs separate to create a gap that allows water to pass until you close the faucet again. Moving the handle from side to side controls the water temperature. Disc faucets are more durable than ball faucets, so they come with a higher price tag.
As the name implies, cartridge faucets have a hollow metal cartridge inside the body of the faucet that moves to control the flow of hot and cold water. These faucets are available in either single-handle or double-handle models. The operation of cartridge faucets is fairly simple: for a single-handle cartridge faucet, move the handle up and down to control the amount of water flow. Moving the handle side to side controls the water temperature. For double-handle cartridge faucets, you simply rotate the handle in one motion to tu the water on or off.
Compression faucets are the oldest of the four types of sink faucets. These faucets have separate hot and cold water handles. Compression faucets are operated by tightening and untightening the handles to control water flow.
