Abstract
The invention provides a mixing faucet system for an aircraft capable of minimizing as much as possible the size of the portion visible to the user, to thereby enhance the design flexibility of the wash basin and the lavatory including the wash basin. A mixing faucet systemfor an aircraft comprises a discharge unitof hot and cold water disposed on the wash basin in a lavatory of an aircraft, and a supply unitseparated from the discharge unitand provided at a remote location from the wash basin for supplying to the discharge unitthrough a hosecold water and hot water either independently or in a mixed state. The discharge unitis not equipped with a mixing function, and the supply unitprovided with the mixing function can be placed at a position remote from the discharge unit. Therefore, the discharge unitis the only portion of the mixing faucet system visible to the user in the lavatory unit, and therefore, the flexibility and freedom of design of the discharge unititself, the wash basin and the lavatory unit including the same can be improved.
