About Sanitary faucet Torneira Sanitaria

Texto do Libro: A torneira sanitaria é unha torneira minimalista deseñada para facer visible o uso da auga. A saída funciona directamente como interruptor. Ao presionar a saída cara abaixo e inclinala ábrese a torneira, e ao levantar a saída de novo á posición horizontal péchase. A auga segue a enxaugar as mans mentres a torneira se está pechando, polo que as mans permanecen limpas. Un tubo de vidro almacena auga suficiente para que unha persoa lave as mans, o que permite ver a cantidade de auga utilizada. O tubo de vidro tamén reduce o fluxo da auga. A torneira está feita de tubo de ferro fundido e vidro.
