[Avodah] faucets

1.Did anyone check to see if the faucets that always have hot  is a miyut hamatzui? I'm sure some may be in that category but iiuc that is not the basic design.
2.As a plumber's grandson I can tell you these were in wide use by the mid 60's (see here for detail  http://www.madehow.com/Volume-6/Faucet.html).  No   one asked about it since then?
3.The easy fix of shutting off in an old fixture may not be so easy - those valves may be old, rusted and I know that they often do not completely shut off in that case.  Replacing the faucet may also entail replacing the sink - neither of which are necessarily cheap.
