Five suggestions for choosing basin faucets

No matter poor loser or Gao Fu Shuai, there is always a beautiful and practical basin faucet at home. Of course, the basin faucet is also indispensable. On the market each has creative basin faucet brain hole big open. So, in this age of looking at the face, do you want to buy a high-quality basin faucet with equal emphasis on appearance and internal performance?

First, determine the basin style to be used

 According to the installation position and opening of faucet, it can be divided into wall type and vertical type, single hole and double hole, single cooling and cold and hot dual-use. At present, vertical cold and hot dual-use products are mostly used in home decoration, and single cooling products are mainly suitable for installation without hot water source in public places

The choice of washbasin faucet has a lot to do with washbasin. At present, there are several kinds of washbasins on the market, such as on stage, Taizhong and taixia. According to the different openings, they can also be divided into single hole, double hole and three hole. Before buying a faucet, make sure that the faucet can be installed on your washbasin.

Secondly, it is suggested to purchase stainless steel washbasin faucets

It is suggested to use all steel washbasin faucets as far as possible. Nowadays, the technology of all steel faucets has been very mature, occupying most of the market share. The real all steel faucet handle, decorative nut, change-over valve, wall cover, connecting nut and eccentric joint, outlet nozzle shell and other parts are made of steel. After polishing brushed, it is not only beautiful and heavy, but also durable. When purchasing, you must ask in detail whether it is a real all steel faucet or only the main body is made of all steel. In most cases, all steel taps can be identified by weight and sound. All steel faucets are generally heavy and dull when struck

Thirdly, it is suggested to buy basin faucets with ceramic valve core

Valve core is the most important component of the faucet, which is directly related to the use experience and service life of the faucet. At this stage, it is recommended to choose ceramic valve core. Now the quality of the market leader, the service life is usually more than 5 years, can smoothly open 500000 times. The valve core of this kind of faucet is mostly ceramic quality, while the traditional copper core in the past is easy to aging and not durable.

Fourth, carefully select the length of the faucet of the basin faucet

According to the difference of water outlets, there are vertical water outlet, inclined water outlet, rotating water outlet, extractable nozzle, wide nozzle water outlet, etc.

vertical water outlet is the most traditional way of water outlet. When purchasing this kind of faucet, you should pay attention to the length of the faucet. If it is too short, it may lead to the hand touching the edge of the washbasin.

Inclined water outlet means that the water outlet is inclined to the outside. This kind of outlet can save space, and the water can be sprayed to the middle of the pool with a shorter nozzle. However, when the water pressure is low or the water flow is turned off, the water will flow vertically downward, which will still lead to the problem of hand touching the edge of the basin.

Rotating water outlet is that the water nozzle can rotate 360 ° to facilitate cleaning the face. However, some of the lower outlet of the rotary faucet is too short (otherwise it will spray out of the basin when spraying water upward), which will affect the convenience of normal washing and gargling. If the basin is too small, it is not recommended to use this kind of faucet. The water outlet is connected to the faucet through a hose, which is usually embedded in the faucet, and can be drawn out for use when necessary. The advantage is that the faucet can freely let the water flow in any direction, but when pulling out the faucet, one hand must be free to hold the faucet wide mouth. The water outlet points out that the nozzle is flat, and the water flows down in a waterfall shape, resulting in the effect of water curtain. The characteristic of this kind of faucet is beautiful and personalized, but from the effect of washing and gargling, the water flow is small and dispersed, which is not as good as the traditional water outlet method.

Fifth, it is suggested to buy basin faucet with lifting handle

The handle of basin faucet is mainly divided into single handle and double handle. There are several types of single handle, such as screw type, lifting type, wrench type, induction type, delay closing type, etc

When the single handle faucet is opened and closed, the water pressure will rise rapidly. If the copper content of the product is not high and can not withstand the expansion of water pressure, it is easy to be damaged. Therefore, the single handle faucet should be opened and closed slowly when it is in use. The double handle faucet has a wide pressure range, and the water pressure is slowly released, so there is no such problem. However, the double handle faucet should not be closed too tightly, otherwise the water stop bolt will fall off and the water will not be turned off.

 if the temperature and flow rate of water need to be adjusted quickly, it is not suitable to use double handle faucets, but single handle ones. If it is necessary to change the position of water, it is not suitable to use fixed faucets, but to use mobile ones.

 among the single handle faucets, the spiral type has been basically eliminated. Wrench type, induction type and delayed closing type are difficult to realize the function of regulating water quantity and water temperature on one switch. Therefore, if you want to adjust the water temperature on the washbasin, the best choice is to lift the handle. The lifting handle usually controls the water volume through vertical lifting and horizontal rotation to adjust the water temperature. It is the most practical and common handle of washbasin faucet.
