Abstract (en)
The single lever tap comprises a carcass (1) provided with a driving lever (2); a single lever cartridge (3) housed inside said carcass (1) provided with a cold water input, a hot water input and a water exit; an insertion (4) made from plastic material for connecting two water input tubes (6) from the mains with said cold water and hot water inputs of the cartridge (3); and it is characterised in that it also comprises a pair of metallic connexion elements (5) completely housed inside said insertion (4) made from plastic material. It permits to use conventional flexible connexion tubes and, at the same time, the sealing of the tap is easily obtained with no complex designs of the carcass, so that it is easier and cheaper to manufacture, using less brass than the conventional taps, being lighter.
