Faucets of different structures have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example: Choose more ceramic sheets to seal the single-handle dual-control faucet. Its seals are more wear-resistant, clean water quality, long service life, easy to control water volume and temperature, mature production technology, standardized parts, and strong versatility. , Easy to replace, low production cost, and style can be updated continuously. But there are also shortcomings. It is not suitable to be made into products with a larger flow rate. Porcelain is a brittle material and has poor resistance to impurities and water hammer in the water. It is easy to break and has potential safety hazards. Special attention should be paid to antifreeze in winter and does not have a check Function etc.



Installation points

1) When the water supply pressure of the local pipe network is too high (for example, more than 0.35MPa), it should be considered to take decompression measures in the pipeline in front of the water nozzle, install a pressure reducing valve, install an automatic flow restrictor or an orifice, etc.

2) One of the popular pipes is plastic, and the other is thin-walled (stainless steel and copper pipes), which are far less rigid than galvanized pipes, which brings some inconvenience to the installation of faucets. Adequate attention should be paid to the method of fixing the faucet, otherwise the faucet and interface will become loose due to frequent movement of the faucet handle



Selection points

(1) Spiral lifting cast iron faucet shall not be used in civil construction.

(2) Water-saving products should be selected. It can automatically reduce the consumption of useless water (such as installing an air filling port, entraining bubbles in the water column during use, preventing splashing, and improving water utilization, etc.).

(3) Products that are durable and not easily damaged should be selected. Some products can be switched on and off for 600,000 times without failure.

(4) Choose a self-closing faucet where water is often cut off.

(5) Water taps made of green environmental protection materials should be used. Except for some of the sealing parts to be made of harmless materials (asbestos, harmful rubber, lead-containing paint, etc. used in the past should be eliminated), most of the materials used to make the valve body of the faucet are miscellaneous brass. The lead content exceeds the standard, which should arouse enough attention. To manufacture the valve body of the faucet, a copper alloy material with low lead content should be selected, and the purpose of lead removal can also be achieved by washing the lead.

(6) Special attention should be paid to the antifreeze in winter for the ceramic sealing faucet.

(7) The ceramic sheet sealing faucet does not have the non-return function
