The basin faucet is a type of faucet, which is mainly used on the basins in home bathrooms and public places. Basin faucets are indispensable sanitary ware for kitchens and bathrooms. How should we choose matching faucets? An introduction to the tips for selecting and matching basin faucets.
According to the installation position and opening of the faucet, it is divided into wall-mounted and vertical, single-hole and double-hole, single-cooling and dual-use hot and cold products. Currently, the most commonly used products in home decoration are vertical hot-cold products and single-cold products. The product is mainly suitable for installation in public places where there is no hot water source.
The choice of basin faucet has a lot to do with the basin. Currently, there are mainly three types of washbasins on the market: countertop, countertop, and undercounter. According to the different openings, they are also divided into single holes, double holes, and triple holes. Before purchasing a faucet, make sure it can be installed on your basin.
According to the difference of the water outlet, there are vertical water outlet, inclined water outlet, rotating water outlet, pullable water outlet, wide mouth water outlet, etc.
It is recommended to use a basin faucet made of all copper as much as possible. Today, the technology of all-copper faucets is very mature and accounts for most of the market share. Real all-copper faucet handles, decorative nuts, switching valves, wall covers, connecting nuts and eccentric joints, spout shells and other parts are all made of brass. After electroplating, they are not only beautiful and heavy, but also durable, so be sure to make sure when purchasing. You need to ask in detail whether it is a real all-copper faucet, or just the main body is made of all copper.
The valve core is the most important component of the faucet, which is directly related to the user experience and the life of the faucet. At this stage, it is recommended that it is best to choose a ceramic valve core. However, ceramic valve cores are also divided into several grades based on different raw materials and workmanship. It is difficult for consumers to distinguish the quality of the valve core by themselves during purchase. Therefore, when choosing, it is best to buy products that have been evaluated by professional evaluation agencies, have detailed data, and have guaranteed quality.
Vertical water discharge is the most traditional way of water discharge. When purchasing this kind of faucet, you should pay attention to the length of the faucet spout. If it is too short, your hand may touch the edge of the basin when washing.
Inclined water outlet means that the water outlet sprays outward obliquely. This kind of water outlet can save space and use a shorter water nozzle to spray water to the middle of the pool. However, this kind of water nozzle will be used when the water pressure is low or the water flow is diverted. When it is turned off, water will flow vertically downwards, which will still cause the problem of hands touching the edge of the basin.
The rotating water spout can rotate 360°, which is convenient for cleaning the face. However, some lower outlets of rotary faucets are too short, which will affect the convenience of normal washing. If the basin is too small, it is not recommended to use this faucet.
The pullable water outlet means that the water outlet is connected to the faucet through a hose. It is usually embedded in the faucet and can be pulled out for use when needed. The advantage is that you can freely let the faucet discharge water in any direction, but you must have a free hand to grasp the faucet when pulling it out.
