Single-piece

It is clear from the name that there is one handle in such products. The water temperature and pressure are adjusted by turning the lever. The most common subspecies with a disk barrid-cartridge equipped with rotary plates, which overlap the pressure. Usually they are made of ceramics.

A semoretum crane-bench looks like a design on a single-dimensional cartridge. It is precisely it is most often the main cause of water leaving in the bathroom. Inside the letters there are plates, which, shifting, overlap the water pressure. If they were damaged or erased from time to time - the pressure there is nothing to restrain, and water begins to leak over time the reinforcement flow. Semobileous letters usually change completely.
