Lever valves are valves that are easier to use than classic models, and the water flow in them is controlled with the help of a lever connected to the cartridge. Types of lever valves are categorized based on finish, color, and style, and these valves are among the most energy-efficient valves. Opening and closing the water flow in lever or cartridge valves occurs with vertical movement, and the water temperature is controlled by moving the lever horizontally.

The role of the cartridge in lever valves

The cartridge or core of a lever valve is the part that controls the flow rate and the proportion of hot and cold water. If this part does not work properly, the valve will not function properly.

Advantage of lever valves

  • Lever faucets save water because they have a single handle that allows users to control both water flow and temperature. This makes them one of the best-selling faucet types.
  • These faucets are highly durable and rarely experience leakage issues.
  • In lever faucets, the cartridge plate or ceramic disc replaces the washer, making them more flexible when turning water on and off.
  • While purchasing a high-quality lever faucet with a durable cartridge is the best choice, if the cartridge becomes defective over time and starts leaking, it can be replaced.
  • Replacing the cartridge is an easy task, and many users can do it themselves using available instructions. However, when buying a new cartridge, careful selection is necessary.
  • Ceramic cartridges from SEDAL and KEROX are considered the best options in this field.
  • Since lever faucets require only one handle, they occupy less space.
  • Various sizes and models are available, allowing users to choose the right one based on their needs. For example, those with limited space can opt for a short-base washbasin faucet, while those with sufficient space can select their preferred model.
