In addition, on one side of the case 30, there is a discharge pipe 38 for discharging the supplied cold, hot water, and mixed water, and a discharge tip 38a for providing the user with the cold, hot water, and mixed water moved through the discharge pipe. This is provided.

In this mixed faucet, when the handle 11 is operated to turn on the water, the regulating member 31 installed in the case 30 is opened, and cold and hot water flows from the regulating member 31 through the manifold 33 connected to the high pressure hose. After mixing, the mixed water is configured to be discharged to the outside through the manifold 33 and a mixed water discharge hose (not shown).

Here, the manifold 33 is configured so that each hose connector (not shown) is provided with a female thread and the cold and hot water supply hoses and the mixed water discharge hose are screwed together. This manifold 33 is made of metal to maintain its durability, but the material cost is so high that price competitiveness is significantly reduced, so research is currently underway to lower material costs by manufacturing it with synthetic resin instead of metal.

On the other hand, when the mixed water faucet body including the case 30 and the discharge pipe 38 is formed of a brass material integrally molded using a casting method, the cold and hot water passages and the cold and hot water flow paths are provided through the partition wall inside the mixed water faucet body.

In addition, when brass is used, there is a problem that the unit price of the product increases because the raw material price rises due to the rise in copper prices and the amount of raw materials consumed to make the product is large.

In addition, when meeting the target unit price, the defect rate is high, and due to the nature of the material, transportation and handling are cumbersome due to the high weight, and there is a risk of burns during use due to the high thermal conductivity.

Referring to Figure 2, in order to solve this problem, a new material mixed faucet that does not use brass has been introduced recently. These new material mixed faucets are inexpensive and eco-friendly by using materials such as ABS and FRP. They have lower thermal conductivity compared to brass materials, allowing safe use without the risk of burns, but each has a cover (ㄱ) shaped cross-section. 52) and the mixed water faucet body 50 including the case 54 and the discharge pipe 56 are connected to each other, and the cover 52 has a standardized constant height, so that the cover 52 is a mixed water faucet body. It has the disadvantage of protruding from (50), making the external aesthetics unattractive and making it difficult to diversify the design.
