Faucet Terminology ?



Hello,

Was wondering right the right name for this type of faucet might be.

I don't think its termed a Cartridge or a Compression type, but not sure.

I have a bathroom faucet assembly
A separate hot and cold valve handle, with the water exiting from the middle
spout.
Sort of the standard bathroom faucet arrangement.

Inside the valve assembly there is a small rubber "hat" with a small,
tapered, spring inside.
that presses this "hat" against the underside of the part that is actually
turned.

It certainly isn't a Compression type of valve faucet.

Are these called Cartridge types, or is there another name for them ?

Thanks,
Bob
