Medium Water Pressure
Water systems operating at a pressure between 0.5 and 0.9 bar are considered medium pressure. Products usually come labelled if they are suitable for use in medium pressure.
High Water Pressure
Water systems operating at 1.0 bar or higher pressure are considered high-pressure systems. Products usually come labelled if they are suitable to use under such pressure.
Flexible Tail Pipes
Flexible Tails, or "Flexi" Tails, are one of the easiest methods to connect the plumbing pipework to the tap fitting. Mixers generally have two tails, one for the hot water supply and the other for the cold. These tailpipes consist of rubber inside a braided metal and come in many sizes.

Flow Regulator
As the name suggests, a flow regulator is a simple device designed to regulate water flow to a predetermined level. The job of a flow regulator is to stop water wastage. For instance, if the regular flow rate through a tap is 20 litres per minute, a flow regulator can reduce the flow rate between 6 to 12 litres per minute to complete the desired chore without feeling low pressure.

Melamine Faced Chipboard
Melamine Faced Chipboard or MFC is a type of engineered wood with a smooth surface. It is made using wood chips, then formed into particle board using heat and pressure and bonded to melamine resin impregnated paper. The Melamine layer makes it waterproof, and helps resist scratches, and increases the aesthetics. It is cheaper than MDF or Medium Density Fiberboard.
