During the time of the Soviets, they produced not only galoshes, but a lot of useful and high-quality things. In my hands there is a household faucet for the kitchen, a herringbone. Unused, in original cardboard packaging, tied with a cord.
I am a plumber, I consider it my duty to review this product of the Soviet industry.
Mixer packaging
"Herringbone" are placed in a dense cardboard box. It contains an information leaflet with the name of the product and the GOST number according to which the mixer was produced. The package was protected from opening by a cord tied with a cross. There was no scotch tape before ...
Contents of the box
First of all, we are greeted by a metal spout made of non-ferrous metal. The wall thickness is decent, the weight is rather big. O-ring made of rubber. The retainer is made of brass, for modern ones it is made of plastic.
The body is massive, with installed crane axle boxes, in the threaded part there are O-rings and a brass nut for tight installation on the kitchen sink.
A tee is screwed into the lower part; it is designed for rigid installation on steel pipes using squeegees. There were no flexible liners before ...
There is a product passport with an additional set of sealing rubber bands.
The faucet has the best impressions, the body is massive and heavy. Every detail from gaskets to threads is made with high quality. If you install it and change the valve of the axle boxes on the reversible floor, then the product of the times of the USSR will last longer than modern cheap misunderstandings.
