Pot Filler Valve
Category: infrastructure
A cold-water faucet mounted on an articulated swing arm situated directly over the primary range cooking surface.
Pot fillers provide immediate utility by eliminating the labor of carrying heavy water-filled pots from the sink to the stove. Because a leak over a cooktop can destroy electronic components, high-end designs feature dual shut-off valves situated at both the wall anchor and the spout tip.
Common Examples
- The plumber roughed in the solid brass pot filler valve at a precise height of twelve inches above the grates of the commercial range.
- Always execute a multi-hour pressure test on the pot filler water line, as repairing a leak post-tiling requires tearing out the backsplash.
