Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridge Performance
The Cheviot bathtub filler utilizes internal ceramic disc valves within its dual lever handles to regulate water flow. Think of these internal ceramic discs like a sliding ceramic gate; two highly polished discs move against each other to seamlessly open and close the water pathway. Because ceramic is nearly as hard as diamond, it resists mineral buildup and wear from daily friction much better than traditional rubber washers. This engineering prevents annoying drips and ensures your handles maintain a smooth, effortless turning feel for years to come.
Installation Guide
Verify that your bathtub has a 7 inch faucet center to center drilling before beginning installation.
Ensure the water supply lines are thoroughly flushed of debris prior to connecting the deck mount fixture.
Tighten mounting nuts securely to the rim of the bathtub to prevent any wobbling during handle operation.
Check all connection points for leaks after turning the water supply back on.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning Wipe the exterior brass surface with a soft, damp cloth after use to maintain its luster.
Mild Soap Use a mild liquid soap and warm water solution for weekly cleaning, then dry thoroughly with a soft towel.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that can damage the exterior finish.
Mineral Prevention Periodically wipe down the spout and lever handles to prevent water spots and mineral accumulation.
Cartridge Maintenance Keep the ceramic disc cartridges functioning smoothly by ensuring balanced water pressure.
