Furniture / Household Appliances / Bathroom taps | | French term or phrase: cartouche a 2 niveaux | Economie d'eau : Ce mitigeur est équipé d'une cartouche à deux niveaux qui limite le débit du mitigeur.
Pretty simple one but just wanted to check.
Whole translation is about bathroom taps.
So this is a mixer tap with a double handle? or double cartridge?
thanks |
| | | English translation:2-level cartridge | Explanation:
Well, it's certainly nothing to do with the handle; in this kind of single-lever mixer tap, we do indeed talk about a 'cartridge' — it's the clever little gizmo that does all the clever stuff!
However, I'm not specifically familiar with this idea of a 2 niveaux one; physically, it could well be on 2 levels, though I can't quite work out how that would work; it could, of course, also be referring to 2 different 'flow levels'. I did wonder if it mightn't in fact be '2-stage', but that's going a bit further away, so it would be best to check.
You ought to be able to research this, ifeel sure there must be a technical description out there somewhere (or phone the manufacturer for explanation!), and I'd be surprised if these aren't also available by now in the UK.
Good luck, happy researching! |

Asker: Thanks. Perhaps 2-level is safest without more context then. thank you
