The faucet is known as the heart of the kitchen. In frequent use, it is necessary to choose a faucet that can be washed smoothly and is durable for a long time. The faucet used in the kitchen is different from the faucet used for cleaning the human body or other items such as the washbasin, washing machine, bath, and toilet. The water in the faucet in the kitchen needs to enter the human body. Therefore, be more careful in its purchase.
The structure of the faucet is mainly composed of three parts, namely the main body, the valve core and the surface. If you take a car analogy, then the main body is the chassis, the valve core is the engine, and the surface is the paint. The combination of the three constitutes the bucket principle. Simply put, if one of the three is a short board, the entire quality of the faucet will be lowered. For kitchen faucets, the functions are more diversified. In addition to the quality, there are also a lot of emphasis on functions when purchasing.
The preferred drawer.
Pull-out faucets are much more convenient than non-pull faucets when cleaning the sink or flushing. Compared with traditional faucets, the advantage of pull-out faucets is that they can be pulled out, generally 40-60 cm, which expands the flushing area. For example, the corners that cannot be flushed by the sink can be easily flushed. There is a hose that can be pulled in the middle of the pull-out faucet, which solves the disadvantage that the traditional faucet cannot be moved, and can be adjusted at will. When cleaning, as long as it is pulled to a suitable position, the countertop and basin can be directly washed with water, and various sanitary corners It can be cleaned in place, eliminating the intermediate step of fetching water with a container, and saving worry and effort. This is really very practical.
The automatic retraction function of the pull-out faucet is mainly realized by the gravity ball (also called gravity block and gravity hammer). The drawn-out faucet is pulled by the weight of the gravity ball to provide retraction assistance. After use, just relax the pulling force on the faucet, and the gravity ball can pull out the faucet and water pipe back to their original position under the action of gravity. The common pulling hoses are mainly nylon and stainless steel. The high-quality pulling faucets of big brands basically choose nylon hoses, and the pulling feeling is better.
The spring faucet, the support tube is a spring, realizes the effect of disguised pulling. The common gravity balls on the market are basically composed of two hemispheres of plastic-coated iron balls, and the two hemispheres are fixed on the pull-out hose by screws or circlips.
There are two types of pulling models, the former is more common, but there are problems that the pulling tube feels bad and the retraction effect of the gravity ball is poor. The main body of the latter has its own pull-out function, which has a longer service life than the traditional pull-out hose, but it also has the shortcoming of a short pull-out distance.
There is also a touch faucet. Have you ever encountered an embarrassing situation where your fingers are stained or your hands are stuffed and you can’t turn on and off the water tap? Most of the traditional kitchen faucets are manual switches, and many people may have experienced the embarrassing situation in front of them. The kitchen faucet using touch technology, the humanized design completely takes into account the busy situation in the kitchen, which can make your kitchen life easier and more convenient. If you touch any part of the faucet, you can turn the faucet on and off as you like. When you are busy cooking or cleaning in the sink, just touch any part of the faucet to easily control the water on and off, which is convenient to use, saves water, and reduces the possibility of cross-contamination.
See the water mode: Most faucets are single-discharge mode, which produces sparkling water through the bubbler. If the budget is sufficient, you can buy a faucet with a shower water and sparkling water dual water mode. The shower water has a large spray area and strong water output, which is suitable for washing. Soft, concentrated sparkling water that slows down splashes for everyday use. The water flow of the faucet equipped with the aerator is bundled, and the water is delicate and not easy to splash, and it also has a certain water-saving effect.
The support tube can be rotated optimally. The kitchen faucet with the rotating adjustable support tube is much more convenient in actual use.
