There was a time when the situation looked like this: you connected the water tap, it didn't leak - and that was good. And the fact that the hot water valve in the kitchen was on the right, and in the bathroom on the left - well, that's a trifle.
Now everything is different. Or maybe it was always like this and you just didn't know?
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to properly connect a water tap.
Valve arrangement
Even in Soviet times, the hot water valve in the taps was located on the right side. Accordingly, cold water was turned on on the left.
If you have any doubts, just look at the plumbing in the bathroom in old houses. It will be exactly the same.
A special document (SNiP) standardized the location of engineering systems.
It said that the hot water supply pipe should be located to the right of the cold water supply pipe.
Standard or rules
With the influx of imported building materials, the new residents found themselves in confusion. Everything there was the opposite of what Soviet citizens were used to.
The fact is that the majority of the world's population is right-handed.
That's why they decided there (in the West) that the cold water valve should be located on the right, since cold water is used more often.
