Flow regulator

Flow regulator for Lapetek faucets

The flow regulator is a separate component that is installed inside the faucet spout in place of the standard aerator. It maintains a predefined water flow rate regardless of the prevailing line pressure. The flow regulator also compensates for pressure fluctuations between 1 and 8 bar, which ensures a pleasantly steady water flow and reduces splashing in the sink caused by network pressure variations.

Flow regulators are available in several versions, from strong to lighter limitation (approx. 3.5 l/min, approx. 5 l/min, and two versions of approx. 8 l/min).

A standard aerator can allow more than 15 liters of water per minute depending on the line pressure. With a flow restrictor, this can be limited to approx. 5 liters per minute. Reducing the water flow below 4.2 liters per minute (at 3 bar) no longer meets type approval requirements. The water comes through in a pleasantly aerated stream, and water consumption is significantly reduced without noticeably affecting the user experience. The difference is mostly noticeable when filling large containers.

The flow regulator replaces the original aerator and is compatible with models that feature a “hidden aerator” (Lino-A, Round-A, LinoPin-A, RoundPin-A).

Compatible products

A faucet equipped with a hidden aerator can be identified by the absence of a visible chrome ring at the end of the spout; instead, the spout continues as one seamless piece. The package includes one flow regulator and a key required for replacement.
