Lab Sink Faucets
Your basic laboratory faucet serves as a fixture for your sink. These faucets are much like a bathroom or kitchen faucet in that it performs the same function of providing hot and cold water to allow you to rinse and wash all your laboratory items. These lab faucets are designed specifically for use in labs, therefore they meet all requirements for building codes. Options ranging from wall mount to deck mount are available depending on the needs of the lab and the preference of the people using the lab.
Gas Faucets
The term laboratory faucet also refers to gas dispensing faucets. There are a wide selection of these gas faucets available through PlumbersStock, from manufacturers such as Chicago. They are compatible with most laboratory gases. These faucets come with either one or two ball valve outlets that allow you to control the amount of gas that comes out of the lab faucet. The lever handle controls the ball valve and moves it to create a larger or smaller opening to allow the gases to pass through.
Accessories
Not only is there a great selection of laboratory faucets available for you to choose from, there are also accessories that can enhance use of these faucets. A double foot pedal valve from Elkay is a great addition to a faucet in that it allows you to turn the water on and off with the control of your feet, which may come in handy if you have a mess in your hands. Another great option to consider, if you always have your hands full is a knee-operated valve, which is similar, but it allows you to control the flow of the water with a tap of your knee.
