Knowledge of faucet installation skills

When we decorate, we will encounter all kinds of problems. For example, how high should the installation height of the shower head be? How much is the installation height of the shower head more appropriate? Such a problem is a headache for many people. 

One is shower and bathtub faucet

When you buy a shower, bathtub, wall faucet, you can choose the appropriate height to bury the outlet pipe. The distance between hot and cold water pipes must be 15 cm. Before installation, you must not forget to flush the water pipe, so as to avoid the water quality being too hard and damaging the tap. If the elbow between the faucet and the wall joint is too long, you can cut off part of the 4 points. Remember: the 6 points connected with the faucet can not be cut randomly.

Second, concealed shower, bathtub faucet

Before installing the thermostatic faucet, please check whether the water pipe is hot on the left and cold on the right. Remember not to connect the cold and hot water pipes incorrectly, so as to prevent the faucet from working normally. Gas and solar water heaters cannot use thermostatic faucets because the water pressure is too low. Please don't forget to install hot and cold water filter when installing thermostatic faucet. Shower when you install shower, bathtub faucet, need to install shower, also do not forget the shower pipe filter. When installing sprinklers, the water pressure must not be too high, generally 1-3 kg is the best, not more than 5 kg. If the water is high, the water flow limiter in the valve core of the tap can be opened to reduce the water pressure and achieve the effect of water saving.

The third is the standard height of sprinkler head installation

The standard distance from the ground should be 2m-2.2m. The best distance between the shower head switch and the ground is 0.9 m-1.1 m, which is convenient for bath control, water flow size and temperature regulation.

Surface mounted shower faucets are equipped with lifting rods. The switch position of shower faucets is 1.1 meters away from the ground. It should be noted that these heights are the actual installation height, which is the height between the shower faucet switch and the floor tiles. Hydraulic installation of waterways, it is necessary to consider the thickness of floor tiles.

The fourth is the installation precautions of shower head

Since the data is only average data, it can also be adjusted according to the height of the user during waterway installation. The water pipe of the faucet switch should be hot on the left and cold on the right, and the center spacing should be 15cm.

In addition, we should also consider the water pressure of the tap water. The residential areas with high floors have pressurization equipment, so the pressure of tap water entering the house is not small. In general, we should control the water pressure within 5 kg, so that the water pressure is most suitable for shower. If the water pressure is too high, the top spray of the shower will burst. If the water pressure is too small, the shower can not be used normally.

Many bathrooms, when setting shower, are often matched with shower room or partition, so the installation height of shower faucet should also consider the height of partition. Because if the flower sprinkling is very high above the partition, then the water is easy to sprinkle on the outside of the partition, and the partition will not play its due effect. So the best is that the water outlet of the shower should be lower than the highest point of the partition, so it is more convenient to use.
