Stainless steel shower or copper shower? How to install shower head?

There are many kinds of shower materials. I believe many consumers will be depressed when they buy shower. What are the skills of choosing shower?

1. Health and environmental protection of stainless steel shower

Stainless steel shower is healthy and environment-friendly, without lead. Stainless steel does not contain lead, and acid, alkali, corrosion, does not release harmful substances, will not pollute your own water. It is beneficial to human health, sanitation and environmental protection. Copper contains lead. Copper will contain lead and rust in varying degrees, polluting your own water source. "Lead free copper" in the market means "low lead content", not "lead-free".

2. Comparison of characteristics between stainless steel shower and copper shower

Stainless steel shower surface never rust, beautiful and durable, easy to clean. Stainless steel shower surface does not need electroplating, its surface only needs polishing (polishing) to show its stainless steel natural color, it will always keep silver white luster, never rust. The polished surface of stainless steel products is still clean, bright and luxurious after 10, 20 and 30 years of use. At present, kitchen products and tableware made of stainless steel are popular all over the world. We have hardly seen copper tableware and kitchen utensils. The hardness and toughness of stainless steel are two times higher than that of copper. Never rust, never corrosion, never deformation. The surface of copper products must be electroplated, and the treatment method of copper surface is to electroplate a layer of nickel or chromium. The electrodeposited coating will gradually peel off depending on its quality and thickness. The faster one year, the slower one 3-5 years, the surface gloss and pitting gradually lost, and then the electrodeposited coating peeled off and copper rust appeared. It's not durable. Stainless steel shower is easy to clean, stainless steel shower cleaner is: any kind of washing water and steel ball. The more you rub, the more beautiful it is. Copper shower can not be cleaned with washing water and hard towel, because the washing water will corrode the electrodeposited layer, while hard towel and other cleaning materials will scratch the electrodeposited layer.

3. Situation of stainless steel shower

Stainless steel shower is rare and fashionable. At present, 99% of the high-grade flower sprinklers at home and abroad are only made of copper. The trend of using stainless steel to make shower has just begun for a short time. In March 2007, at the exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, many domestic and foreign manufacturers bought our stainless steel shower to participate in the exhibition, forming a great product highlight. The foreign professional industry exhibition is the navigation of the market, which is bound to accelerate the market demand of stainless steel shower project. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the import requirements of lead content in copper shower are more and more strict. In the export market, stainless steel shower has a huge potential. Domestic, such as: the introduction of aluminum-plastic water pipe production line, aluminum-plastic water pipe has sold well in the domestic market. Guangzhou has a long-term plan to build direct drinking water. People's awareness of health and environmental protection has been greatly improved, while promoting the development of stainless steel shower.

How to install shower head

1. Height of nozzle mixing valve from the ground

When installing the shower head, the first thing to determine is the height of the mixing valve of the shower head from the ground. Generally, before installing the shower head, we have determined the installation place of the shower head. Then the distance between the nozzle mixing valve and the ground is generally controlled in the height range of 90 ~ 100cm. In this range, you can also fine tune according to your height. But generally, it should not be higher than 110cm. If it is too high, it may cause that the lifting pipe of shower head cannot be installed.

2. Reserved height of sprinkler head

Generally, the reserved wire head of the installed sprinkler head is just buried in the wall tile. It's better to just cover it with a decorative cover. Otherwise it will not look very beautiful. Therefore, when we lay the pipeline, we should first consider the reserved position. Generally, it is 15mm higher than the blank wall. In this way, when the tiles are pasted, we can just bury the wire head to ensure the beautiful wall.

3. The reserved space of wire elbow in sprinkler

Generally, the reserved spacing of wire elbow in shower nozzle is about 10-15cm. Generally, when buying shower heads, the seller will present two adapters, so that the water outlet of the mixing valve can be well connected to the cold and hot water outlet of the wall. However, as far as possible or do not use adapter to transfer, this is more beautiful.

No matter what kind of material is, it has its own characteristics. So when you choose the material, you can compare it first. Now the material suitable for your home is a wise choice. Don't blindly choose and compare it. It will only mislead you to choose a more difficult one.
