The big thread is attached to the mixer and the smaller one to the Hand Shower Tube.
HEX NIPPLES
A bathroom hex nipple is a type of plumbing fitting that is used to connect two pipes or fittings in a bathroom plumbing system. It is called a "hex nipple" because it has a hexagonal shape in the middle, which provides a convenient gripping surface for tightening and loosening the fitting with a wrench.
In a bathroom plumbing system, hex nipples are commonly used to connect various fixtures and components, such as faucets, showerheads, and valves, to the water supply lines. They are typically made of brass or stainless steel, which are durable and corrosion-resistant materials that can withstand the moisture and harsh conditions of a bathroom environment.
Hex nipples come in a variety of sizes, lengths, and thread types to accommodate different plumbing configurations and components. When selecting a hex nipple for your bathroom plumbing project, it's important to choose the right size and thread type to ensure a proper fit and reliable connection. It's also important to use the appropriate plumbing tools, such as a wrench or pliers, to tighten the hex nipple securely and prevent leaks.

BOTTLE TRAPS
A bathroom bottle trap is a plumbing component that is used to drain water from a washbasin or sink.
Bottle Traps also prevent sewer gases from entering a bathroom or kitchen sink through the drainpipe. It is typically installed beneath the sink and is designed to trap a small amount of water in its curved section, which creates a seal that prevents gases from escaping through the drain.
Bottle traps are named after their shape, which resembles a bottle with a curved neck. They are often made of plastic or metal and can be easily removed for cleaning or maintenance.
In addition to their functional purpose, bottle traps can also serve an aesthetic function in bathroom design. They are available in a variety of finishes and styles, including chrome, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze, to match the decor of the bathroom or kitchen.
When choosing a bottle trap, it is important to select the appropriate size and type for your plumbing system and sink. Different types of traps may have different inlet and outlet sizes, and some may be designed for specific types of sinks or drainpipes. It is recommended to consult with a licensed plumber or follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation and use of the bottle trap.
ARK Bottle traps are made of Brass and come in two sizes 32mm & 40mm with varying pipe lengths of 3” to 12”.
FLOOR DRAINERS
A bathroom drain jalli is a grid or screen that covers the opening of a drain in a bathroom. It is designed to prevent larger objects, such as hair and soap, from entering the drain and causing blockages. The jalli typically consists of a metal or plastic mesh that is held in place over the drain by screws or clips. Over time, the jalli can become clogged with debris and may need to be cleaned or replaced to ensure proper drainage.
ARK manufactures Drainers in Brass & Stainless Steel. The Frame may be round or square. The Size of Jalli may be 5” or 6”. The customer may select jalli with or without hole depending on the requirement. Few Jalli or Drainers have locking frames so that the grid does not get displaces form the frame.
FLOOR COCKROACH TRAPS
Cockroach trap jalli drainers, also known as cockroach trap drain covers, are devices designed to prevent cockroaches and other pests from entering drains. There is a small cup within a bigger cup where water gets collected and traps the insects in the lower part of the drain.
These drain covers typically consist of a metal or plastic mesh screen that fits over the drain, allowing water to flow through while trapping any debris or insects that may try to enter. Some designs may also include a removable tray that can be easily emptied and cleaned.
Cockroach trap jalli drainers are commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where cockroaches and other pests are likely to enter through drains. They are effective at preventing pests from entering the drain and crawling up into the sink or bathtub.
In addition to preventing pest infestations, cockroach trap jalli drainers can also help to prevent clogs in the drain by trapping hair, food particles, and other debris that may otherwise accumulate in the pipes. They are easy to install and can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.
Overall, cockroach trap jalli drainers are a simple and effective way to prevent pests from entering drains and causing problems in the home.
ARK manufactures cockroach traps of stainless steel & brass. The Frame may be round or square. Some models have locking frames.
DIVERTOR CONCEALED KITS
ARK Divertor Kits are of 3 types 40mm push type, 40mm lever type & 46 mm push type. The latter two are High Flow Kits. Kits means the concealed part of the divertor which goes inside the wall. The Exposed part can be later purchase to select the matching plate & lever as per the Bathroom theme & other Sanitary Collections to match the whole concept.
A bathroom diverter body, also known as a shower diverter valve body, is a plumbing component that is typically installed behind the wall of a shower or bathtub. It is responsible for controlling the flow of water between different shower or tub outlets, such as a showerhead, hand-held showerhead, or tub spout.
The diverter body usually has an inlet for the water supply and multiple outlets for the water flow. When the diverter is activated, it diverts the water flow from the main showerhead to the secondary outlet, such as a hand-held showerhead or tub spout.
Diverter bodies come in different sizes and configurations to fit different types of plumbing systems and installation requirements. Some are designed to be used with specific types of diverters, such as three-way or two-way diverters. It is important to choose the right type of diverter body for your plumbing system and to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and use.
FLOAT VALVES
A float valve, also known as a ballcock or float-operated valve, is a type of valve used to control the flow of water in a tank or reservoir by using a float to detect the water level.
A float valve consists of a valve body with an inlet and an outlet, a float, and a lever or arm. The float is typically made of plastic and is connected to the lever or arm. When the water level in the tank or reservoir drops, the float drops with it, causing the lever or arm to move and open the valve. As the valve opens, water flows into the tank or reservoir, raising the water level and causing the float to rise. When the water level reaches a certain height, the float rises high enough to close the valve, stopping the flow of water.
Float valves are commonly used in applications such as toilet tanks, livestock watering troughs, and water storage tanks. They are simple and reliable, with few moving parts, making them easy to maintain and repair. Float valves can be made of various materials such as brass, plastic, and stainless steel, and come in different sizes to suit a variety of applications.
ARK manufactures Brass Float Valves of sizes ½”, ¾” & 1” for water overflow control of storage tank in the water source line.
BALL VALVES
Ball valves are a type of valve commonly used in plumbing systems and other industrial applications. They are designed to control the flow of fluid through a pipeline by using a ball with a hole in the middle to regulate the opening and closing of the valve.
The ball valve consists of a hollow, perforated ball that is positioned within a pipe. The ball has a hole through its center, which allows fluid to flow through when the valve is open. When the valve is closed, the ball is rotated so that the hole is perpendicular to the flow, preventing the fluid from passing through. Ball valves are typically operated by a lever or a handle that is turned to rotate the ball.
One of the main advantages of ball valves is their ability to fully open or close quickly. This makes them ideal for applications where a fast response is required. Additionally, ball valves are durable and long-lasting, with a low risk of leakage due to their tight sealing mechanism.
Due to their many benefits, ball valves are widely used in a variety of industries, including plumbing, water treatment, chemical processing, and oil and gas. They come in a range of sizes and materials to suit different applications, including brass, stainless steel, and PVC.
At ARK we manufacture small brass ball valves of sizes 1/2”, ¾” & 1” for water application only.
TEFLON TAPE
ARK Teflon tape, also known as plumber's tape or thread seal tape, is a thin, white or yellow tape made from Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a type of plastic known for its non-stick properties. It is commonly used in plumbing applications to seal pipe threads and prevent leaks.
To use Teflon tape, you wrap it around the threads of a pipe fitting in a clockwise direction, making sure to overlap the tape slightly as you go. The tape acts as a lubricant, allowing the pipe fitting to be tightened more easily and creating a tight seal that prevents leaks.
Teflon tape is a popular choice for sealing pipe threads because it is flexible, easy to use, and highly resistant to chemicals and heat. It can be used on a wide range of materials, including copper, brass, plastic, and steel. However, it's important to note that Teflon tape should not be used on flare fittings or compression fittings, as these types of fittings rely on metal-to-metal contact for a proper seal.
Overall, Teflon tape is a useful tool for preventing leaks in plumbing applications and is a staple in many plumbers' toolkits. We are ARK cut the Tape to specific width & length 12mmx0.10mmx10mtr and wind it on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads.
ARK Teflon tale is a common, inexpensive and effective yellow tape used to seal threads & pipes in plumbing. It easily fills the gap between threads.
