Water Flow Aerator
Thread Size:
- Male threads: Common sizes are 15/16″-27 or 13/16″-24.
- Female threads: Common sizes are 55/64″-27 or 3/4″-27.
- Ensure compatibility with faucet types.
Flow Rate:
- Typical ranges: 0.5 GPM (gallons per minute) to 2.2 GPM.
- Low-flow aerators (e.g., 0.5–1.0 GPM) are used for water conservation.
- Standard aerators are around 1.5–2.2 GPM.
Material:
- Plastic: Lightweight and cost-effective.
- Metal (e.g., brass, stainless steel): Durable and corrosion-resistant.
- Composite materials may also be used for specialized purposes.
Spray Pattern:
- Laminar: Produces a clear, non-splashing stream (used in medical or lab settings).
- Aerated: Mixes air for a soft, frothy flow.
- Spray: Creates a wide, dispersed pattern for cleaning.
Dimensions:
- Outer diameter and height vary depending on the model and application.
Pressure Range:
- Designed for standard water pressures: 20–80 PSI (pounds per square inch)
