When the main hard decoration of home decoration is completed, it is necessary to purchase and install hardware, and there are many shower accessories to be installed in the bathroom. The shower faucet is a very important bath hardware accessory, which will directly affect the bath experience. There are many evaluation criteria for good shower faucets, involving many aspects, such as material, casting, structure, machining, polishing, electroplating and so on. Today is about shower accessories.
In choosing the shower faucet, today’s problem is the installation of the curved foot of the shower faucet, which is only a small accessory. It is estimated that no one will pay attention to this thing, but please remember that this thing is very important. The small end of the curved foot is screwed to the water pipe, and the large end is connected to the shower faucet. This fitting has three functions, and each is very important.
1. Adjustment spacing: the standard spacing between the cold and hot water inlet holes of the shower faucet is 15cm. The spacing between the installation holes reserved at home is not necessarily so standard. It may be too large or too small. It is adjusted by this curved foot during installation.
2. Fixing function: after installation, the curved foot is used to fix the shower faucet, and most of the stress of the faucet is supported by the curved foot.
3. Water supply function: after installation, hot and cold water passes through the supply tap from the middle of the curved foot.
After reading the above functions, you should know the importance of this curved foot. It should not only be strong enough to bear the force, but also be sealed enough to supply water, but also durable enough, and can not rust or break. There are many low-end shower faucets on the market. These accessories are really poor. Some are made of iron, and they also make things very thin. As a result, they break when they are screwed. We should pay attention when buying. When buying, we should make 304 stainless steel curved feet or thickened copper. Why should copper be thickened? Because copper is softer than steel, and the copper used for accessories is generally not very good copper, so it should be thickened.
The second is the valve core. There are three kinds of common faucet spool on the market: stainless steel ball valve, ceramic disc spool and shaft rolling spool. The common characteristics of the three valve cores are integrity, the whole mandrel is integrated, and it is easy to install, repair and replace. Among them, the ceramic disc valve core has the advantages of low price and less water pollution, but the ceramic texture is brittle and easy to crack; The advantages of shaft rolling valve core are smooth rotation of handle, easy and simple operation, aging resistance and wear resistance; The stainless steel ball valve has a high scientific and technological content. Some high-grade sanitary products use it as the valve core of their latest faucet products, which can accurately control the water temperature and ensure the rapid and accurate outflow of hot water, saving water and energy. Stainless steel valve core is a leading valve core with high scientific and technological content, but it is easy to rust and pollute the water quality if the stainless steel material is not qualified. Copper valve core is the heaviest and more expensive valve core. It also has high requirements for the quality of copper, otherwise it is easy to accumulate scale. Ceramic valve core is the best valve core. It has the characteristics of strong wear resistance, good sealing, long service life and high temperature resistance. It is widely used by many high-quality products. For example, Kohler uses the original imported valve core. Under normal use, the valve core can be opened and closed for 1 million times without dripping. The ceramic material with high hardness is more wear-resistant.
