Guide to selection of kitchen faucets

What problems should be paid attention to when purchasing kitchen faucets? This article will answer you one by one.

Material selection

It is suggested to choose the faucet with copper as the main body, because it has better sterilization effect, conforms to the kitchen drinking water standard, is not easy to rust and keeps healthy. If it is difficult to distinguish the material, you can tap it with your finger. If the sound sounds dull, it means copper.

Single hole or double hole

Single-hole faucet is a relatively new way of water intake. Hot and cold water directly reaches the valve core from a hole under the faucet through two hoses. The advantage is that it will not lead to excessive temperature of the hot water side shell like a double-hole faucet. The disadvantage is that the amount of water is small in theory. Double holes are used to supply cold water and hot water from both sides of the faucet. Because the hot water on the hot water side directly contacts the main body, the shell temperature will be very high.

Environmental protection material

The lead content in water is mainly caused by the water that washes the waterway. It is recommended to choose a faucet with low lead content, such as Delta faucet in the United States. Its waterway pipeline is made of pure copper, and the low-temperature welding process is adopted between the water inlet pipe and the faucet body, and special welding materials are used, which does not contain pollutants.

Convenient design

The design of faucet must be simple and practical, which can meet all kinds of cleaning needs. The good cooperation between the faucet and the sink makes the cleaning more convenient and will not cause the blockage of food residues.
