BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONbeginner
Definition
Faucet or tap — the valve fixture that controls flow of water from pipes. Kran is available in various styles (single-lever, dual-handle, etc.) and materials (brass, stainless steel, chrome-plated). Quality kran seal materials directly affect durability in high-usage applications like kitchen sinks.
Example
An Indonesian kitchen wastafel uses a single-lever stainless-steel kran with a curved spout — allowing one-handed operation and easy adjustment between hot and cold water.
