How to buy basin faucet, these five suggestions will inevitably

There are many details to be noticed in the home decoration, from the determination of the overall decoration style, to the selection of a water pipe, each detail can not be careless. Today Xiao Bian introduced to you the purchase of a basin below the tap tips, what are the precautions.

First, make sure to use the basin style

According to the position and opening of the faucet, it can be divided into wall type and vertical type, single hole and double hole, single cold and hot/cold use. At present, the most used products in home decoration are vertical cold and hot products, single cold The product is mainly suitable for the installation of public places and other hot water sources.

The choice of basin faucet has a lot to do with the basin. Currently, there are several types of washbasins on the market, namely, Taichung, Taichung, and Taichung. According to the different openings, they are also divided into single holes, double holes, and three holes. Before buying a faucet, make sure that the faucet can be mounted on your washbasin.

Second, it is recommended to buy a pure copper basin faucet

It is recommended to use a brass basin faucet. The process of today's copper faucets is already very mature, accounting for most of the market's share. The real brass faucet handles, decorative nuts, changeover valves, wall coverings, connecting nuts and eccentric joints, spout housings and other components are made of brass. After electroplating, they are not only beautiful and heavy, but also durable. It is necessary to ask in detail whether it is a true copper leader, or whether the subject is made entirely of copper. In most cases, it is possible to distinguish whether it is a copper faucet by weight and sound. Copper faucets are generally heavier, and the sound of knocking is dull and low.

Third, it is recommended to buy ceramic valve core basin faucet

The valve core is the most important component of the faucet, and directly related to the experience of use and the life of the faucet. At this stage, it is recommended to choose the ceramic valve core. Now the market leader in quality clearance, the service life is usually more than 5 years, can open 500,000 times smoothly. The valve cores of this kind of faucet are mostly of ceramic quality. In the past, traditional copper cores are prone to aging and are not durable.

Fourth, carefully select the mouth length of the basin faucet

According to the difference of outlets, there are vertical outlets, inclined outlets, rotary outlets, outlet outlets, and wide mouth outlets.

Vertical water is the most traditional way of water supply. Pay attention to the length of the faucet when purchasing such a faucet. If the faucet is too short, it may cause the hand to touch the edge of the wash basin.

Tilting water means that the water outlet is obliquely sprayed outward. The water outlet can save space. With a short water nozzle, water can be sprayed into the middle of the pool. However, the water nozzle has low water pressure or water flow. When you turn off the water, it will run straight down and it will still cause your hand to touch the edge of the basin.

Rotating the water is a 360° rotation of the spout for easy cleaning of the face. However, rotating out of the tap and some of the outlet is too short (otherwise it will spray out of the basin when spraying water), will affect the convenience of normal washing. If the basin is too small, it is not recommended to use this faucet to pull out the outlet. The outlet is connected to the faucet through a hose and is usually inserted into the faucet. You can use it if necessary. The advantage is that it is free to let the faucet go out in any direction, but when you pull out the faucet, you must free up one hand to catch the faucet. The wide mouth of the faucet indicates that the faucet is flat. When the faucet comes out of the water, the water flows like a waterfall and causes a curtain of water. Effect. This type of faucet is characterized by its beauty and personality, but the water flow is smaller and more dispersed than the traditional washing method.

Fifth: It is recommended to buy a wash basin faucet with lift handle

The handle of the washbasin faucet is mainly divided into a single handle and a double handle, wherein the single handle has several types, such as a spiral type, a lift type, a wrench type, an induction type, and a time-delayed type.

The single handle is characterized by easy control and simple structure. The double handle requires both hands to adjust the water temperature, but the style can be suitable for more occasions (such as under-basin faucets). When the single-lever faucet is turned on and off, the water pressure will rise rapidly. If the copper content of the product is not high enough to withstand the expansion of the water pressure, it is easily damaged, so when the single-lever faucet is in use, it should be slowly opened and shut down. The double-handle faucet has a large pressure range and the water pressure is slowly released, so there is no such problem. However, the double-handle mixer cannot be closed too dead, otherwise it will cause the sealing plug to fall off, causing the water to stop and stop.

If you need to adjust the water temperature and flow rate quickly, you should not use double-handle faucets. It is best to use a single-handle type. If you need to change the location of water, you should not use a fixed faucet, but should use mobile.

In the single-handle mixer, the spiral has basically been eliminated. Wrench type, inductive type, and time-delay shut-off type are all difficult to realize the function of adjusting the amount of water and water temperature on one switch. So if you want to adjust the water temperature on the wash basin, the best choice is to lift the handle. The lift-type handle is usually the most practical and common basin faucet handle, which controls the amount of water vertically and horizontally to adjust the water temperature.

The above is the purchase point of the lavatory faucet brought by Xiaobian. The selection and installation of building materials in home decoration is related to the use in the future. The selection of faucets is not to be careless. The styles of basin faucets on the market are various now, and hopefully the above information is for everyone.
