HANDLE STEM FAUCET LEVER (FISH

A faucet or a tap (also spigot) is a valve controlling the release of a liquid or gas. Turning a valve knob or lever adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow. Its rate is independent of the viscosity or temperature of the fluid or gas in the pipe, and depends only weakly on the supply pressure, so that flow rate is stable at a given setting.

There are thousands of different handle configurations in every commercial kitchen. From cookware to cutlery, griddles to grinders, or mixers to microwave ovens, almost every piece of restaurant equipment and implement has some sort of handle. A handle is a part of, or attachment to, an object that can be moved or used by hand. Handle designs differ greatly by application, sanitary regulations, and safety considerations making it especially important that OEM replacements are used whenever possible.

Levers are often used with foodservice equipment. For example, a lever is commonly found in beverage, condiment, and ice dispensing equipment where it is used to activate product flow. Coffee urns may use a lever to dispense coffee or hot water for tea. Most soda fountains use levers to dispense soda or other carbonated beverages. The lever is typically located on the front of the fountain and is pressed down to release the beverage into the cup. Two the simplest types of levers used in restaurants are a bottle or can opener which serve to pry off a cap, or punch a hole in a lid.
