How to identify the advantages and disadvantages of faucets

1. The cold water tap is arranged on the tap water pipeline for discharging water.

According to the difference of valve body materials, cold water taps can be divided into copper taps, zinc alloy taps, stainless steel taps and plastic taps. Although some taps are made of the above materials, their content and production process are different, so they are easy to burst when used.

The layout of the cold water faucet is mostly screw up and down type, that is, through the rotation of the handle, the screw up and down to discharge water or close. It depends on the rubber gasket on the top of the screw. Its advantage is that it is cheaper. Once it leaks, just change the rubber pad.

2. Basin faucet

It is placed on the washbasin for discharging cold water, hot water or mixed water. Its layout is: screw up and down type, metal ball valve type, ceramic spool type, etc. The valve body is made of brass, with chrome plating, gold plating and various kinds of metal paint on the surface. The shapes are various, and the handle has single handle type and double handle type. In addition, the faucet of the washbasin is equipped with a falling water lifting rod, which can be directly lifted to open the falling water port of the washbasin to remove the sewage.

3. Bathtub faucet

It is installed on one side of the top of the bathtub, open hot and cold water.

Can be connected to two cold and hot pipes called duplex; in addition to two cold and hot water pipes, another valve body connected to a shower head device called triple. The layout of opening and closing water flow is spiral type, metal ball valve type, ceramic spool type, etc.

Now the market is more ceramic spool type single handle bathtub faucet. It can adjust the water temperature with a single handle, which is convenient to use; the ceramic valve core makes the faucet more durable and watertight. The valve body of the bathtub faucet is mostly made of brass, with the appearance of chrome plating, gold plating and all kinds of metal paint.

4. Shower faucet

It is placed above the shower room to open hot and cold water.

The valve body is also made of brass with chrome and gold plating on the surface. The methods of opening and closing water flow are screw up and down type, ceramic valve core type, etc. There are many kinds of faucets, appearance and shape. When purchasing, we should consider matching with sanitary ware. Different brands of sanitary ware, the size of the tap requirements are also different.

The basin faucet can be divided into the basin on the platform and the basin under the platform; the kitchen faucet can be divided into the single hole straight type and the wall type; the shower faucet can be divided into the hose type and the embedded wall type; the thermostatic faucet and the dragon head with water filtering device have special effects For example, if the faucet of a washbasin has a single hole, it can be equipped with a single handle faucet; if the faucet has three holes, it can be divided into four inches, and if it has eight inches, it can be installed with a single handle faucet or a double handle faucet. Buy Sanitary Ware first and then match the faucet.

Identification advantage

The advantage and disadvantage of bibcock quality, internal structure is crucial. Especially the valve core directly affects the service life of the tap. But as consumers, they usually can't see these, so how can consumers identify the advantages and disadvantages of the tap?

After the tap is disassembled, it is divided into the body, valve core, handle, screw, nut and other parts. The appearance of the body, handle and other parts is plated with chromium, which requires uniform luster and smooth handle. Knocking on the faucet, the sound is dull, which indicates that the faucet is made of copper, and some faucets will make a very brittle sound, which is alloy material, and the quality is very poor. In the global sales of faucets, ceramic valve core accounts for 90%. The so-called ceramic valve core is actually ceramic pieces that bite each other. They control the amount of water. Ceramics are much more wear-resistant than rubber gaskets. The advantages of ceramic valve core are wear resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the service life of ceramic valve core taps can reach 5-10 years.
