Wählen Sie den richtigen Wasserhahngriff für Einzel- oder Doppelgriffhähne

So wählen Sie den am besten geeigneten Griff für Ihren Einhebel- oder Zweigriff-Wasserhahn? Bei der Wahl zwischen einer Einhebel- und einer Doppelgriff-Armatur ist der Stil oft der Diktator, Aber es ist wichtig, die Entscheidung für Armaturengriffe auch aus praktischer Sicht zu betrachten. Sowohl ein Einhebel- als auch ein Doppelgriff-Wasserhahn haben Vor- und Nachteile (or two-handle faucet, as it is also known) that you should be aware of.

Single Handle Faucets

Single handle faucets operate using a single lever or knob to open water flow, and they have a mixer inside them that blends hot and cold water together before they flow out of the faucet head.

From a practical standpoint, the best places to use a single handle faucet are:

• Kitchen sink. Ein Single-Griff Küchenarmatur schlägt der Regel ein Zweigriff-Küchenarmatur, wenn es um Handhabung und Komfort zu erleichtern kommt. If you’re dealing with raw meat or want to rinse a grimy dish rag, you may need to operate your faucet with one hand. If you have a double handle faucet, you’ll have to choose between turning on hot or cold, or waste water while you attempt to adjust to a comfortable temperature.
• Bathroom sink. The same rules apply for bathroom sinks, though to a lesser degree. Many people don’t mind two-handle bathroom sinks, but the single handle versions are easier to control, and are second only to automatic faucets for hygiene purposes because you touch the faucet much less.
• Dusche. Shower faucets could really go either way, but a single handle shower faucet can help you better control initial water temperature, which can help you avoid cold shocks or hot water bursts. They’re also easier for making small temperature adjustments, as you only need to adjust one slippery handle instead of two.

Double Handle Faucets

Many people prefer the look of double-handle faucets, and are willing to sacrifice on convenience to have one. But from a purely practical perspective, double-handle faucets work best in the:

* Bathtub. Your skin won’t be exposed to bath water until the hot and cold have already mixed in the tub. Even if you do test the water from time to time, there’s no need to stick your hand under the running stream, so hot and cold mixing is less important.
* The laundry room. Many times you’ll only need either hot water or cold water exclusively, so having separate taps in the laundry room causes no problem at all. It may even be helpful to have the taps separated so you don’t have to worry about making adjustments.
