How Does It Work? FaucetSuperDeal Shower Faucets

Turning on the shower faucets. It’s something you do every day, but do you ever think about how it works? And whether the handle in front of you has an effect on what is behind the wall?

This information will walk you through everything you need to know about shower cuts, valves, and how showers work. We hope this information will answer any questions you may have, and send you on the right track for your shower renovation or installation.

The handle to turn the shower on and off and the ring of metal that surrounds that handles are collectively known as the shower cut. The shower cut not only turns the water on and off, but also adjusts the temperature, and can control the water pressure in some instances.

As you shop for a shower cut, you may notice that the market is dominated by single handle shower cuts. This is because many states do not allow dual-handled cuts, where one handle or knob only manages the hot water and another handle only manages the cool water. Scalding burns can occur when the hot water handle is turned all the way on and the cool is completely off. Only one handle shower trims prevents scalding burns as even at its highest heat setting, some cool water is combined with the hot water. We also recommend lowering your hot hot water heater at 120 degrees to prevent burns.

Shower cuts come in several styles and finishes, and often have matching shower heads available as well. When the shower trims and shower heads can be bought together, the places are known as Shower Faucets. When tub filler faucets can be bought with shower trims and shower heads, the places are known as Tub and Shower Faucets.
