How to choose kitchen faucet correctly


Many people find that there are many problems in the house after decoration, especially for the kitchen faucet, which is often used, once there is a problem, it will cause a lot of trouble, so we must do enough homework before purchasing.


1. By structure type


In order to be convenient to use, the kitchen faucet should be higher, and the water outlet mouth should be long. It is better to extend to the upper part of the drain and not splash water. If there is a hot water line in the kitchen, double tap is the best choice. In order to meet the needs of various uses, most kitchen faucets can now be rotated left and right. In recent years, the new pull-out faucet can draw out the water nozzle, which is convenient to clean every corner of the sink. However, the disadvantage is that one hand must be left to hold the faucet when drawing out the faucet, while the faucet of some faucets can rotate 360 ° up and down.

2. By material


The material of kitchen faucet is generally brass, which is the most 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 outermost layer to prevent internal corrosion and rust. The cooking fume in the kitchen is very big, coupled with the greasy hands and detergent when washing dishes, you will often need to clean the faucet. If the cleaning method is not correct, it is likely to damage the electroplating layer of the faucet, resulting in corrosion and rust of the faucet. If you want to choose copper kitchen faucet, you must choose high-quality 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 resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, no release of harmful substances, and no pollution of water source. This is very important to the kitchen drinking water; and stainless steel faucets do not need electroplating, not easy to rust, hardness, toughness are more than twice as high as copper products, so it is very convenient to clean up. High quality stainless steel is usually difficult to process due to its high cost.

3. The length of water nozzle should take into account the flume on both sides


Pay attention to the length of the basin and faucet when purchasing. If the sink is a double basin, pay attention to the length of the water nozzle. When rotating, both sides of the sink should be taken into account.


4. It has anti calcification system and anti backflow system


Calcium is deposited in both the shower head and the automatic cleaning system. Similarly, some calcium will accumulate in kitchen faucets after several years of use. Pay attention to choose the faucet with anti calcification system when purchasing, because it can prevent the equipment from being calcified internally. When all the seals inside the faucet fail, the faucet equipped with anti backflow system can still ensure no backflow pollution accident and ensure the cleanness of water quality. So pay attention to whether the selected faucet has these two functions when purchasing.

Detail angle


Kitchen faucet seems simple, but the components are numerous and the structure is complex. In addition to paying attention to basic functions, other details can not be ignored.


1-1: bubbler


Faucet is first used for water, the quality of the water output directly determines whether a faucet is easy to use or not. A good bubbler can bring excellent effluent effect, not only soft feel, but also can effectively save water and prevent splashing water.

1-2: surface treatment


The surface treatment determines the life of the faucet. Take chrome plating as an example, a good treatment makes the tap surface bright like a mirror, and it is difficult to have scratches after a long time of use. The poor treatment will make the surface uneven, and sometimes there are welding traces, resulting in white or yellow spots, peeling phenomenon.

1-3: valve core


Faucet valve core generally has plastic core, ceramic valve core, stainless steel valve core, copper valve core and so on. It is suggested to purchase and use ceramic valve core. The reason is that kitchen faucets generally output hot and cold water, and the high temperature of hot water may lead to deformation of plastics, copper, etc., or the precipitation of foreign matters.

1-4: water inlet pipe


The water inlet pipe is also an important part of the kitchen faucet. If the quality is not up to standard, it will seep or burst directly if it is used for a long time. In addition, the water inlet pipe should be equipped with filter screen gasket, which can filter out some water impurities, effectively protect the water inlet pipe.
