Many inexperienced owners find many problems after the house decoration, especially for the kitchen faucet, which is often used. Once there is a problem, it will cause a lot of trouble.
First, the kitchen faucet can rotate 360 °.
For convenience, the kitchen faucet should be higher, and the water outlet nozzle should be very long. It extends above the drain, and it can’t splash water. If there is a hot water pipeline in the kitchen, this faucet should also be duplex. In order to meet various use needs, most kitchen faucets can realize the left and right rotation of the main body of the faucet. In the faucet part, the pull-out faucet can pull out the faucet, which is convenient to clean to all corners of the sink. Its disadvantage is that one hand must be free to hold the faucet when pulling out the faucet. The faucets of some faucets can rotate 360 ° up and down.
Second, stainless steel is preferred.
The material of kitchen faucet is generally brass, that is, the common pure copper faucet on the market. However, due to the characteristics of the kitchen environment, pure copper faucet is not necessarily the best choice. All pure copper faucets are electroplated on the outer layer. The function of electroplating is to prevent internal Brass Corrosion and rust. There is a lot of oil smoke in the kitchen, coupled with the greasy and detergent on your hands when washing dishes, you often need to clean the faucet. If the correct method is not used for cleaning, it is likely to damage the electroplating layer of the faucet, causing the faucet to be corroded and rusted. If you want to choose the all copper kitchen faucet, you must determine some electroplating, otherwise it is easy to cause rust and corrosion of the faucet.
Now, some manufacturers have used high-quality 304 stainless steel to make faucets. Compared with pure copper faucets, high-quality stainless steel faucets have the characteristics of no lead, acid and alkali resistance, no corrosion, no release of harmful substances and no pollution to the source of water. This is very important for drinking water in the kitchen; Moreover, the stainless steel faucet does not need electroplating, is very difficult to rust, and its hardness and toughness are more than twice that of copper products, so it is very convenient to clean. However, due to the high processing difficulty of stainless steel, the current price of high-quality stainless steel faucets is usually relatively high, more than 300 yuan each.
Third, pay attention to whether the length of the water nozzle can take into account the flumes on both sides.
When buying, pay attention to the length of the basin and faucet. If the kitchen is a double basin, pay attention to whether the length of the faucet can take into account the sinks on both sides when rotating. At present, most kitchen faucets can realize the left and right rotation of the faucet body, and the pull-out faucet can pull out the faucet, which is convenient to clean to all corners of the sink. Its disadvantage is that when pulling out the faucet, one hand must be free to hold the faucet.
Fourth, it has anti calcification system and anti backflow system.
Anti calcification system: calcium will be deposited in the shower head and automatic cleaning system. The same situation also occurs on the faucet, where silicon will accumulate. The integrated air cleaner has an anti calcification system, which can also prevent the equipment from being calcified internally.
Anti backflow system: the system prevents dirty water from being pumped into the clean water pipe, which is composed of layers of materials. Equipment equipped with anti backflow system will be marked with dvgm pass mark on the packaging surface.
Correctly selecting and installing kitchen faucets will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also make your kitchen life more convenient. I hope I can help you!
