Kitchen and bath mixers are essential plumbing fixtures that combine hot and cold water within a single outlet, allowing users to control both temperature and water flow with a single lever or dual handles. These mixers are widely used in kitchens, bathroom wash basins, showers, and bathtubs due to their aesthetic appeal, user convenience, and modern water-saving technology.
