Introduction and Classification Of Faucets

The faucet is the popular name for the water valve, which is used to control the size of the water flow and has the effect of saving water. The replacement of faucets is very fast, from the old cast iron process to the electroplated knob type, and then to the stainless steel single temperature single control faucet, the stainless steel double temperature double control faucet, and the kitchen semi-automatic faucet. Now, more and more consumers buy faucets, and they will comprehensively consider materials, functions, shapes, and other aspects.

Classification of faucets

1. According to the material, it can be divided into SUS304 stainless steel, cast iron, all plastic, brass, zinc alloy material faucet, polymer composite material faucet, and other categories.

2. According to the function, it can be divided into the basin, bathtub, shower, kitchen sink faucet, and electric hot water faucet (porcelain energy electric hot water faucet). It is expected to become a new protagonist leading the faucet revolution.

3. According to the structure, it can be divided into single, double, and triple faucets. In addition, there are single-handle and double-handle points. The single type can be connected to a cold water pipe or a hot water pipe; the double type can be connected to two hot and cold pipes at the same time, which is mostly used in the faucet of the bathroom vanity and the kitchen sink with hot water supply; the triple type can be connected to two hot and cold pipes. In addition to the pipe, it can also be connected to the shower head, which is mainly used for the faucet of the bathtub. The single-handle faucet can adjust the temperature of cold and hot water with one handle, while the double handle needs to adjust the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe respectively to adjust the water temperature.

4. According to the opening method, it can be divided into screw type, wrench type, lift type, and induction type. When the screw-type handle is opened, it needs to be rotated many times; the wrench-type handle generally only needs to be rotated 90 degrees; the lift-type handle only needs to be lifted up to discharge water; the sensor-type faucet will automatically discharge water as long as the hand is placed under the faucet. In addition, there is a time-delayed faucet. After the switch is turned off, the water will continue to flow for a few seconds before it stops, so that the dirty things on your hands can be rinsed off when the faucet is turned off.

5. According to the valve core, can be divided into rubber core (slow opening valve core), ceramic valve core (quick opening valve core), and stainless steel valve core. The most critical factor affecting the quality of the faucet is the valve core. The faucets using rubber cores are mostly cast iron faucets with screw openings, which have been basically eliminated; ceramic valve core faucets have appeared in recent years, with better quality and more common; stainless steel valve cores are more suitable for areas with poor water quality.
