The shower head set has three functions: top spray, hand shower and bottom spray. Its components mainly include: faucet, top spray, hand shower, bottom spray, pipe fittings, slide seat and hose.
The faucet is the main body of the whole shower, and it can be said to be the “brain” of the shower, which is used to control all the water outlet methods, such as switching from the top spray to the hand shower or the lower water, which are all operated in the faucet part. The appearance of the faucet looks simple, but the internal structure and accessories are very sophisticated, so that it can quickly switch between multiple water outlet modes. High-grade faucets are basically made of refined copper through gravity casting and integral molding, that is to say, the entire faucet body is a whole from the inside to the outside, without splicing, to avoid the problems of water leakage and dripping during use, and the service life is longer.
The shape of the shower top spray is round or square. The round shape is the choice of most users, and the water distribution is more reasonable (such as the covering surface of an umbrella); the square design has a stronger sense and requires higher craftsmanship. If there are no special requirements for the appearance, it is recommended to choose a round shape, which is economical and practical. In terms of material, top spray is mainly divided into ABS top spray and stainless steel top spray. ABS is an engineering plastic with good strength and heat resistance, and is the most commonly used material for shower top spray. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, doesn’t rust easily, and usually has a slimmer appearance for a more upscale look.
Hand showers are the most basic and most commonly used water outlet methods. Like the top spray, the shape is round and square, and the material is mostly ABS. The most traditional and basic hand shower has only one water spray mode. With the improvement of consumers’ requirements for bathing experience, the hand showers on the market generally have a variety of spray modes, such as shower water, massage water, and mixed water. Wait.
Most families in China do not have a separate cleaning room, so in addition to washing and showering, the bathroom also doubles as a cleaning room for housework cleaning. In order to facilitate cleaning the mop and water, many people will install a single cold faucet in the bathroom. The installation of a single-turn faucet is indeed convenient to use, but it is necessary to add a water pipe outlet on the wall, which destroys the overall aesthetics of the wall. In addition, due to the low installation position of the faucet, there is a potential safety hazard of bumping for the elderly and children. There are various shapes and designs of the water outlet, including the traditional faucet shape and the simple long tube shape.
The main body of the shower and the connecting pipe fittings for the top spray can be divided into lower straight pipes and upper curved pipes according to the appearance of the pipe fittings. Shower fittings are generally made of copper or stainless steel. Good brands use H62 copper, followed by 304 stainless steel.
The sliding seat is mainly used to suspend and adjust the height and angle of the hand shower, and is generally made of ABS material. Among them, in the realization of vertical height adjustment, there are mainly two design styles: button type and rotary type, there is not much difference in vision, and the choice is mainly based on personal operating habits.
The hose is used to connect and extend the hand shower to widen the shower area. Common shower hose materials are stainless steel or PVC, and a good hose should have good explosion-proof and anti-winding properties.
