Limiting the water supply to a sink

[Adrian80]

Hi,

got a nice tap and basin set, from b and cr*p. However even with the limited flow and pressure at the house if you have both taps water is spilling over the top of the basin.

I have two 15mm iso valves on the hot and cold, and my initial thought was to turn them down. When you turn them down a lot they start to make a noise.

Are there any better valves for doing this? or is this just a problem with cheap iso valves.

cheers for advice..

ISO valves are for ISOlating !

There are some flow restrictors that you used to beable to buy but the only place i knew with them stopped as they sold so few.

A pressure reducing valve might be a little quieter but probably not much!

You could try two ISOs in series, that migh be a little better at little cost.

Cheers Tipper,

the bes site looks like an a replica of other valves which i found, and at a price which is bit more sensible..

cheers for the tip..
