The operation of a single lever mixer faucet is straightforward yet highly efficient. With a single lever or handle, users can control both the flow rate and temperature of the water. By moving the lever to the left or right, users can adjust the temperature from cold to hot, while moving the lever up or down regulates the flow rate, allowing for precise control over water usage.

Internally, single lever mixer faucets typically feature a cartridge mechanism that mixes the hot and cold water streams to achieve the desired temperature. This cartridge is equipped with ceramic discs or other durable materials that ensure smooth and reliable operation over time. Additionally, many modern mixer faucets are designed with features such as anti-scald protection and water-saving technologies, further enhancing their functionality and safety.

Single lever mixer faucets are typically constructed from high-quality materials such as brass, stainless steel, or chrome-plated brass, ensuring durability and long-term reliability. With proper maintenance, these faucets can withstand the rigors of daily use and provide years of trouble-free operation.
