Types of faucets

A faucet is a switch for indoor water sources, used to control and regulate the flow of water, which is common in every household. Nowadays, there are a wide variety of faucets on the market, and for the general public, they often lack relevant knowledge, so they may feel at a loss when choosing faucets. In fact, although bathroom faucets come in various designs, styles, shapes, and types, they can also be easily divided from two aspects.

Firstly, from the perspective of application functions, there are generally three types of faucets: bathhouse faucets, basin faucets, and kitchen faucets, all of which have a unified style and form.

Bathroom faucets are further divided into bathtub faucets and shower faucets:

Bathtub faucet: It is installed above one side of the bathtub and is used to open a mixture of hot and cold water. The type that can connect two pipes, hot and cold, is called a dual connection; The structures for opening and closing water flow include spiral lifting type, metal ball valve type, ceramic valve core type, etc. Nowadays, there are more ceramic valve core single handle bathtub faucets on the market. It can adjust the water temperature with a single handle, making it convenient to use; The ceramic valve core makes the faucet more durable and water tight. The valve body of the bathtub faucet is mostly made of brass, with chrome plating, gold plating, and various metal baking paints on the surface.

Shower faucet: It is installed above the shower room and used to open a mixture of hot and cold water. The valve body is also often made of brass, with surfaces such as chrome or gold plating. The methods for opening and closing water flow include screw lifting, ceramic valve core, etc. There are two types of shower faucets: hose shower and wall mounted shower; There are thermostatic faucets with special functions, faucets with filtering devices, and faucet numbers with pull-out hoses, all of which have different requirements during installation.

Basin faucet: It is installed on the basin and is used to hold cold water, hot water, or mixed cold and hot water. Its structure includes: screw lifting type, metal ball valve type, ceramic valve core type, etc. The valve body is made of brass, with chrome plated, gold plated, and various colors of metal baking paint on the surface. It has a variety of shapes, and the handle is available in single handle and double handle styles. Some basin faucets are equipped with a drainage lever that can directly open the drainage port of the basin to clean up sewage.

Multifunctional kitchen faucet: If your kitchen has a hot water pipeline, this faucet should also be dual connected. Exceptionally, the kitchen faucet has a higher and longer outlet, and some have hose designs for washing food.

Secondly, from a structural perspective, it is generally divided into three categories

Single handle type, this type of faucet uses the popular ceramic valve core as the sealing element, which has the advantages of sensitive switch, simple temperature adjustment, long service life, and a price of 1300 yuan? About 1800 yuan.

The ones with a 90 ° switch are also sealed with ceramic chips. Based on the traditional double handle, the original rubber seal is replaced with a ceramic seal. When opening and closing, the handle can be rotated 90 degrees, and can be adjusted between cold and hot water. Its characteristics are convenient opening, multiple styles, and the price ranges from 700 yuan to 900 yuan.

The traditional spiral stable rising rubber sealed faucet, due to its large water output and relatively low price, is generally priced at 400 yuan? About 500 yuan, and with easy maintenance, it is still popular among some citizens.

In addition, some imported faucets also use stainless steel hollow ball seals and stem seals, as well as fully temperature controlled ones, but the prices are relatively expensive.

b. Flushing valves are the main accessories of toilets, which are available in three types: all copper, copper plastic combination, and all plastic. The primary use in households is all plastic.

c. Shower heads are one of the necessary accessories in bathing equipment, mainly made of stainless steel as raw material. There are two types: fixed and movable. The movable type uses stainless steel serpentine pipes as connectors, which can move within a certain range and is very suitable for daily use in households. Therefore, most households install movable shower heads and hang shower head hanging parts on the wall.

When selecting sanitary ware, attention should be paid to its ceramic quality. High quality sanitary ware has a smooth and clean glaze surface, without needle holes, bubbles, unglazing, uneven luster, and other phenomena; The sound of tapping on ceramics with hands is relatively clear and crisp. Defective sanitary ware often has sand holes, bubbles, missing glaze, and even slight deformation, and the sound produced when knocked is relatively dull.
