Valves are mechanical devices that are used to control the volume of flow and pressure of fluids or gases. Closing, opening, or partially opening a passage through which the material passes regulates this flow.

There are dozens of different types of valves, and each performs a specific task. But there are many other valves used in the typical residence.

Compression valves: this type of valve is most commonly used in the two- handle faucet. Compression valve consists of basically two valves that work in conjunction. One valve is used to control the flow of cold water, whereas the other valve controls the flow of hot water. When turned, each valve handle compresses against rubber washers, which in turn regulates the flow of water which passes through the valve.

Compression valves use stems of varying designs, but all designs utilize neoprene washers. However, compression faucets are much more prone to leaks due to the twisting motion which in time wears out the rubber seal at the bottom of the stem.
