How to identify kitchen faucets?

Faucets are generally made of metal materials. Some reports indicate that heavy metals in faucets exceed the standard, especially the lead content. The faucet in the kitchen is directly related to the health of drinking water. If the faucet is improperly purchased, it will seriously threaten the life safety of the family. When purchasing kitchen faucets, how can we ensure the safety of water sources? Let's take a look?

1. Check the material

Nowadays, there are many kinds of faucet materials, such as titanium alloy, copper chrome plating, stainless steel chrome plating, aluminum alloy chrome plating, iron chrome plating products, etc. The waterways of good faucets are made of refined copper. During the manufacturing process, ensure that each drinking faucet is an environmental protection faucet.

2. Check the valve element

The valve core is the heart of the faucet. The ceramic valve core is used for the products with good quality, which has strong wear resistance and good sealing performance. It can be used more than 300000 times generally; Low grade products mostly use copper, rubber and other sealing elements, with short service life but low price.

3. Check the coating

In chrome plated products, the coating of ordinary products is 20 microns thick, and the material is easy to be oxidized by air after a long time, while the exquisite copper chrome plating coating is 28 microns thick, with tight structure, uniform coating, bright color, smooth and delicate, and can remain bright as new after long use

4. After sales

When purchasing kitchen faucets, we should ensure their quality and environmental protection. The most important thing is to see how their after-sales guarantee is. The kitchen faucet should be a big brand service provider with after-sales service, so that the kitchen faucet can be used without worries.

5. Identification quality

The main body of the faucet is generally brass. The electroplating quality of products made of brass is the best guarantee. The higher the brass purity is, the better the electroplating quality is, and the more difficult the electroplating layer on the surface is to be corroded. Except for one

General hardware stores can also land in Ririshun, hundreds of faucet types, direct sales by big brand manufacturers, product guarantee, and logistics services delivered as scheduled! In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers choose zinc alloy to replace brass. Although the state allows the use of zinc alloy materials to replace brass, zinc alloy electroplating quality is poor and corrosion resistance is not strong. Generally speaking, consumers can use the method of weight estimation to identify when purchasing. Brass is heavier and harder, and zinc alloy is lighter and softer.
