Hello
I am curious to learn if, in your expert opinions, the attached design for a mixer (hot and cold) water tap would work.
Basically, two lever valves, one on each of the hold and cold, prior to an equal tee that goes to the outlet. Please see attached.
It's copied from something that i've seen for a cold water only supply. Really basic and the copper/brass all exposed. It looks odd, but super easy to maintain, which is what i'm after in this application. But i've no idea if mixing hot and cold might cause problems (e.g. too much pressure either side causing backflow, or something).
In theory, could this work? In theory, what problems might there be?
All questions and comments very welcome. Apologies if this has already been done a million times and is stupid/repetitive/ridiculous/whatever...
cheers
