Faucets are essential in home decoration, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. If you are not careful, it will easily lead to flooding of the mountains and make our lives suffer from various "flying disasters". In the face of various styles in today's complicated market, how should we choose a faucet? Our reference standard should be based on the analysis of the appearance, style and material of the faucet.

The selection and purchase of faucets--appearance:

When selecting, take the light, no bubbles, no defects and no scratches as the qualified criteria. Ordinary faucets have only a coating of more than 10 microns, the purpose is to prevent rust, beautiful, and guarantee the service life. Some experts revealed that when selecting, press the surface of the faucet with your finger, and the fingerprints quickly dissipate, indicating that the coating is good; the more fingerprints are printed, the worse it is. After the appearance is selected, you should also taste the feel of the faucet, whether the switch is smooth, and the switch with a large range of up and down, left and right switches can adjust the water temperature without disorder. But there is one thing to pay attention to, the lightness of the faucet does not mean that it feels good.

The selection and purchase of faucets--style:

At present, faucets on the market are generally divided into two styles, namely single-handle faucets and double-handle faucets. Single-handle faucets only use one hole, while double-handle faucets can also be divided into four-inch holes and eight-inch holes. Depends on the style of the pot.

Basin faucets and kitchen faucets are generally installed on the countertop, so its water inlet pipes can be hard pipes and hoses, and the length is generally about 35 cm. In order to facilitate the connection, the connection between the domestic water pipe and the water inlet pipe of the faucet must be installed. A kind of valve, this kind of valve is called a triangle valve. Don't forget to match it together when you buy the faucet, otherwise you will have to run it again, and the triangle valve has different sizes, according to the faucet you bought. Depending on the size of the water pipe, there are generally 3 points and 4 points. In addition, it should be noted that when installing the triangular valve, do not install it too low, so that the water inlet pipe of the faucet is not long enough and cannot be connected, which will cause unnecessary trouble. Generally, it can be installed at a distance of about 50 to 60 cm from the ground.

Furthermore, when buying a faucet, you must not forget to take stock of the parts, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if you can't take it back and install it. Generally, the accessories of the basin faucet mainly include the water remover, the lifting rod and the faucet fixing bolt, the bolt and the fixed copper sheet and the gasket; Mixing faucets produced by regular enterprises have installation dimension drawings and imitation sheets when they leave the factory. Pay attention when choosing. Imported products should be more careful.

The selection and purchase of faucets--Material:

After the style is selected, it is also necessary to understand the material of the faucet. At present, most of the built-in valve cores of the faucet on the market use steel ball valves and ceramic valves. The leader of the new generation of valve cores, the disadvantage is that the rubber ring that acts as a seal is easy to wear and will age quickly. The ceramic valve itself has a good sealing function, and the faucet with a ceramic valve core can be more quiet and smooth in feel. The faucet is made of stainless steel as the top grade. Stainless steel is resistant to acid and alkali, and does not release harmful substances.
