A recent query, about "automatic" faucets that stop functioning because of a power outage, reminded to tell you all how much we are all living in a previous century.
I'm upset, I'm frustrated, I've had it. It's so hard to find anything out when I go looking for (what I consider to be) simple Press-to-Start Valves like the kind I get when I buy an Instant Hot water tank. Don't anyone tell me that I can get these press-to-open valves by calling the Instant Hot manufacturer. They all say they get them from overseas so I'll have to buy the entire assembly (minus the tank). It's a lot of money for the whole thing when I want the little piece of brass and spring, that looks just big enough and solid enough that it could be sold alongside any other fitting (worth less than $5). I'll pay more than that, but where are they?
Now, Knee & Foot Pedal Valves are easier to find. They also cost a lot.
What I don't get is why nobody here has ever commented on them. And why I've never seen them sold to the average consumer. Am I the only home renovation person who wants one?
I came across a few people who rave about Tapmaster.ca/us/ for home use. It's a knee / foot valve that fits into your basic kitchen cabinet. It's a lot of money for a valve.
