Single lever cartridges are designed for the application in single-lever mixing faucets acting both as control and adjusting unit.

This kind of faucet is operated by a handle which is placed either on top or the side of the faucet’s body. Hot and cold water are being mixed inside the cartridge before exiting through the outlet.

The cartridge‘s ease of movement determines the faucet‘s ease of operation. In order to achieve this over a long period of time, it is necessary to use high-quality ceramic disks and appropriate components.

A high level of handling comfort is achieved by Promix due to its high flow rate and its large operating angle, which ensures a precise setting of the selected temperature.

This item is available in various versions, such as Promix 25, Promix 35 and Promix 40. Special designs with water saving or temperature restricting features can be supplied, too.

How the Promix functions

Water temperature and volume are both regulated by Promix at the same time, as the faucet’s handle is connected to the spindle within the cartridge. The adjustment of the water volume can be set simultaneously (handle:up or down) along with the setting of the water temperature (handle: right turn for cold, left turn for hot).

The base plate of Promix shows three openings, two of which convey inflowing cold and hot water, whereas the third opening provides the outflowing mixed water.

Among other things, Promix features two wear-free ceramic disks on the inside.

Regarding the openings, the inlet disk shows the same geometry as the base plate, and it is fixed inside the housing of Promix. An adapter connects the spindle with the ceramic control disk. This control disk and its mixing chamber direct the in- and outflowing water through the respective openings of the inlet disk.
