What Is Pull-out Kitchen Faucet?

The pull-out kitchen faucet has become popular in the domestic market in the past seven or eight years. It is more flexible and covers a larger area than the traditional faucet. The kitchen faucet, as the name suggests, is used in the kitchen to match the sink. The color changes of kitchen faucets are closely related to the development of sinks. The early sinks were mainly made of pearl cotton. At that time, the kitchen faucets were matched with chrome; in the later period, the overall development of the sinks was brushed, and the brushed kitchen faucets became the mainstream of the market. In recent years, with the development of black quartz stone sinks, the demand for black kitchen faucets is also gradually increasing.

There are two main styles of kitchen faucets. Kohler, Moen, and Delta, represented by North America, tend to be more classically designed. There is an interesting situation here. The British style is similar to the North American style. The overall style of Continental Europe is fragmented. This is probably due to the fact that Britain and the United States are of the same kind and the same text; there is also the modern design represented by Italian GESSI, why not Hansgrohe and GROHE? Italy is famous for its fashion, and its industrial design capabilities cannot be ignored. Of course, GESSI’s products have gone far beyond the scope of faucets, and they are luxury goods. It can be said that 70 to 80% of the popular kitchen faucets in the market are based on it.
The technology of pulling kitchen faucets is actually very mature, unlike the pit that pulls the basin faucet is a bit big. When choosing, pay attention to some small details:
the material of the pull-out pipe
is because the pull-out faucet is actually an addition of a pull-out pipe to the ordinary kitchen faucet to realize the pull-out. After use, loosen the faucet and it can return to the original one. position.
The most frequently used pull faucet is stretching. If the quality is not good, it will be easily damaged and difficult to reset. At present, there are two main materials for drawing pipes in the industry.
Nylon pull-out tube: The nylon fiber pull-out tube is wear-resistant and soft, and at the same time, it is rigid and has a longer service life. The cost will also be higher
. Metal pull-out tube: it feels better than nylon tube, but the metal buckle may be tripped under repeated pulling for a long time, and it may also wear the electroplating layer on the metal surface.
Look at the valve core: We control the size of the water flow through the opening and closing of the valve core. The quality of the valve core determines the service life of the faucet. When in use, it rotates in all directions, flexible and smooth without blocking feeling, indicating good quality.
Ceramic valve core: It is the mainstream in the market at present, with the characteristics of not easy to rust, wear resistance and good sealing.

Stainless steel valve core: It is a kind of faucet valve core with high technology content at present. It has high requirements on processing technology, good wear resistance, long service life and expensive price.
Look at the material:
304 stainless steel: corrosion resistance, long service life, is the mainstream on the market.
Copper Alloy: Not 100% pure copper. Copper has excellent bacteriostatic effect and good wear resistance.
Zinc alloy: cheap, easy to rust, short service life.
Look at the process: Metal wire drawing: The surface layer is brushed, with high wear resistance, and it is not easy to leave traces.
Chrome plating: smooth mirror grade, corrosion resistance, long service life.
Baking paint: Baking paint is of high grade, and it is necessary to prevent the surface paint from being damaged.
Whether the water inlet hose and the pulling tube below are separated by plastic fittings, it is easy to cause mutual entanglement, unsmooth pulling, and damage to the pulling tube.
The mainstream pull-out technology has been used for quick-connection, and the installation is much more convenient than before;
the current shower heads are basically two-function ABS plastics. It is beneficial to pull it back into position, so don’t worry about this problem. Check if there are no flaws in the nozzle, and if there is a spot-like feeling, don’t underestimate this thing, if you are willing to use new materials to make this nozzle, the water effect will definitely be good.
