One More Faucet

Press Kit

Unique Properties

This faucet consists of two parts to make it possible for several people to use at the same time. Or to be used for 2 part sinks. It takes up little space and the height could be changed according to the user's needs.
With no need to touch the faucet, the water flow in each spout could be activated or deactivated by hand gestures in front of sensors located on top of each spout. The amount of water flow in both spouts could be seen on the touch screen in the middle of the two spouts to attract users attention to daily water consumption and its management. To prevent unwanted use, users can control the usability of one tap or both.

Production Technology

The faucet handles and body are constructed by pipe bending, hydroforming, CNC lathe, and soldering. The spout is made of brass, and the sprayer is ABS plastic. The faucet is available in a variety of finish materials.

Design Challenge

It is not possible for so many of the small kitchens to find extra space to install a second sink and faucet, as well as adding an extra plumbing system, the challenge for most of the kitchen washing sections are small spaces, so the main challenge for me was designing a compact faucet that could be suitable for most kitchens especially small ones, to cover most of the customer's needs. In addition, the use of appropriate modern technologies for this faucet was another important and fundamental issue in the design process.

Project Duration

The basic idea came in 2020. It took some time to get the details straight in early spring of 2021 in Isfahan (Iran).

Operation Flow

Both of the spouts can be used at the same time, and when one or both of them are not needed, they can be rotated so that they do not take up space. The smaller spout height can be adjusted depending on the user's needs. Each tap's water flow and temperature could be adjusted separately. Water temperature can be controlled from the touch screen. Each one controls the spout next to it. The electricity required to operate the faucet is supplied by direct electric current and battery use in emergencies.

Research

Every kitchen needs a second water faucet therefore cooking or washing would be easier and faster for as many people who are working in the kitchen at the same time, especially in small kitchens. But it is not possible for so many of the small kitchens to find extra space to install a second sink and faucet, as well as add an extra plumbing system. The main idea of designing this faucet was a solution to problems such as these for small kitchen houses.

Inspiration

It is clear that one of the most used and busiest parts of the kitchen is the washing section. Consequently, every kitchen needs a second water faucet therefore cooking or washing would be easier and faster for as many people who are working in the kitchen at the same time, especially in small kitchens. One More faucet form idea came from paper clips which are very small, tiny, easy to make, and simple to use. And also they can organize so many papers and hold them tight to free up extra spaces.
