Advantages of Brass Bibcock:
1. Copper has good corrosion resistance.
2. Because copper water pipe has many advantages such as beautiful and durable, convenient installation, safety and fire prevention, health care, etc., it has a significantly superior price-performance ratio compared with galvanized steel pipe and plastic pipe.
3. Copper ions have a strong disinfection and sterilization effect, which can prevent the prevalence of some common livestock diseases. Copper is an indispensable micronutrient for human health. It has an important impact on the development and function of internal organs such as the heart.
Disadvantages of Brass Bibcock:
Excessive copper into the body can cause nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, acute hemolysis and renal tubular deformation and other poisoning phenomena. Note: Soluble copper salts are toxic, mainly because copper ions can denature proteins and lose physiological activity.
How To Identify The True And False Brass Bibcock:
1. Observe the surface process:
High-quality all-brass bibcock will have exquisite craftsmanship on the surface. Generally, they must be polished and electroplated, so the surface looks brighter and brighter. When purchasing, you can check the quality of the surface electroplating process in sufficient light. , if it looks as bright as a mirror, it means that its surface processing is good, if the surface does not look too bright, or there are corrosion marks, oxidation spots, etc., it is recommended not to buy it, because its electroplating process is not guaranteed. , and the surface plating of high-quality all-copper faucets has a certain thickness. At present, the international standard for electroplating thickness of faucets is 8 microns, and the best can reach 12 microns, while the surface plating of inferior copper faucets is only 3 microns. -4 microns, so try to ask the merchant to show the relevant data when purchasing.
2. Observe the section interface:
Many brass bibcock on the market are often treated with copper plating on the surface, and the internal material is not copper. Therefore, you must pay more attention when purchasing, and carefully observe whether the cross-section interface of the faucet is made of copper. Therefore, when purchasing You can use a knife to scrape the cross-section interface of the faucet to see how the internal material is.
3. Faucet valve core purchase:
When purchasing an all-copper faucet, you must not forget to select its valve core. The high-quality faucet valve core is generally made of ceramic material, which has good sealing performance and wear resistance. Therefore, when purchasing a faucet, you must ensure its valve core material. , If it is not easy to choose, it is recommended to ask the merchant to show relevant evidence and write the purchase terms into the contract to ensure that the subsequent use process is guaranteed.
4. Touch with your hands:
In order to ensure that the selected faucet is made of all-copper material, it is recommended to touch the surface of the faucet as much as possible during the purchase process, and after the copper material is electroplated, the product feels heavy to the touch, and its surface resistance is large. If the surface is smooth to the touch, it means that it is not made of copper, and it is recommended not to buy it.
5. Tap to hear the sound:
When purchasing an all-copper faucet, in order to determine whether its material is copper, you can tap its surface with your hands when purchasing, and then listen to the sound of the tap. If the sound is crisp when tapping, it is stainless steel. If the sound is dull when struck, it means that it is made of copper.
6. Purchase of bubbler:
When choosing an all-copper faucet, the quality of the bubbler must also be considered. Generally, the high-quality bubbler is made of ABS environmental protection engineering plastic material, which can effectively filter the sound of running water, make the water flow generate more bubbles, and the water will not splash. It can also achieve the effect of energy saving. If it does not have a bubbler or a bubbler faucet with poor material, it is recommended not to buy it.
7. Check the accessories:
When purchasing an all-copper faucet, you also need to check the accessories. Good accessories are generally made of copper. For accessories of other materials, although the surface has been electroplated, the color will turn pale and yellow during use. It will be black, affecting the use and also affecting the appearance.
