Five categories of kitchen faucets

1. According to the material, it can be divided into SUS304 stainless steel, polymer composite material, brass faucet, zinc alloy faucet,
 
2. According to the function, sensor kitchen faucet, pull out kitchen faucet, pull down kitchen faucet
 
3. According to the structure, it can also be divided into single-connection double faucet and triple faucet. There are also single and double handles. The single connection type can be connected to the cold water pipe or the hot water pipe; the double connection type can be connected to the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe at the same time. Mainly used for bathroom washbasin. Kitchen washbasin faucet and hot water supply. The triple connection type is not only connected to two hot and cold water stacks. 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 hot and cold water with one handle; the two handles need to adjust the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe separately to adjust the water temperature

4. According to the opening method, it can be divided into screw type wrench type lifting type and induction type. When the screw handle is turned on, it needs to be rotated several times: the wrench handle generally only needs to be rotated 90 degrees; the lifting handle only needs to be lifted up to drain water. Just put your hand under the faucet and the sensor faucet will automatically drain. Plus, there's a faucet that shuts off with a delay after the switch is turned off; the water flows for a few more seconds and then stops so that when you turn off the faucet, your hands are rinsed off again.

5. According to the valve core, it can be divided into rubber core (slow opening valve core) ceramic valve core (quick opening valve core, stainless steel valve core, etc. The valve core is the most critical factor affecting the quality of the faucet. Most faucets with rubber valve cores They are all spiral cast iron faucets and have been basically eliminated. Ceramic spool faucets have better quality in recent years and are now more common; stainless steel spools have just appeared, and are more suitable for daily maintenance of faucets in areas with poor water quality.

Faucet installation method
Before installation, prepare the installation tools and check whether the accessories are complete. Common faucet parts include: hose. Rubber gasket. Shower. Water removal cane. Decorative cover, etc.
1. Install a single-hole basin faucet When purchasing a single-handle basin faucet, you should pay attention to the diameter of the water outlet. Most of the water on the market now is supplied by hard pipes, so you should pay attention to the reserved height of the water inlet. 35 points down from the basin is the most suitable. A special angle valve must be selected during installation, and the angle valve must be fixed with the hot and cold water pipes of the wall outlet. When you find that there is some distance between the angle valve and the faucet supply pipe, go and buy a special extension pipe to connect it. Remember, never use other water pipe connections, because if the water pressure is high, it is easy to fall off and leak, causing you losses. If the inlet pipe is longer than the outlet pipe, the parts can be cut off as needed. If the angle is not right, it can be bent to the desired position. Remember: Do not bend too hard to 90 degrees or more. When installing the washbasin drain, don't forget to buy the small tap (faucet short tap). Before installing, don't forget to flush the water pipes buried in the wall. Shower Tub Faucet (Wall Mount) Installation When you buy a shower tub. After hanging the wall faucet, you can choose the appropriate height to bury the outlet pipe. The distance between the hot and cold water pipes must be 15 cm. Don't forget to flush the water pipe before installation, so as not to damage the faucet if the water is too hard.

2. Concealed shower bathtub faucet: After purchasing a concealed faucet, the faucet valve core should be embedded in the wall. Before pre-embedding, pay attention to the thickness of the bathroom wall. If the wall is too thin, the valve plug cannot be embedded. The plastic protective cover of the valve core should not be easily removed during the burying process, so as not to damage the valve core by cement and other miscellaneous matters during the burying process. In addition, when burying the spool, attention should be paid to the up, down, left, and right directions of the spool to avoid errors in spool embedding. If there is a deviation in the size of the pre-buried inlet pipe of the wall-mounted faucet, the adjustable knee can be used for calibration.

3. Install the thermostatic faucet Before installing the thermostatic faucet, please check whether the water pipe is hot or cold. Remember not to connect the hot and cold water pipes by mistake, so that the faucet will not work properly. Thermostatic faucets cannot be used with gas solar water heaters because the water pressure is too low. When installing a thermostatic faucet, don't forget to install hot and cold water filters.

4. The installation of the single-hole kitchen faucet should be stable, because the kitchen faucet is used frequently and is easy to loosen when moving, so the lock nut must be tightened. At present, there are some faucets on the market that add the nut fixing of the threaded pipe, which has a good stabilization effect. If the problem of water removal and water lifting can be solved, it will be a popular trend in the future
