The convenience of pulling the faucet, once you use it, you will love it. The core of the pull-out faucet lies in the retractable and pull-out hose. The hose is made of stainless steel and nylon. The stainless steel and nylon pull-out faucets are introduced earlier, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages! But in addition, choose and buy Pull the faucet, but also pay attention to the way the hose is pulled.
There are two ways to pull the faucet hose: spring and gravity hammer.
Which is better, spring or gravity hammer? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Gravity Ball Pull Faucet
The gravity ball pull faucet is mainly realized by relying on the support tube, hose and gravity ball. When the faucet is pulled out, the hose can be used to freely change the direction and range, and the gravity ball can be used to pull it back when it is retracted.
Gravity ball pulling faucet is the earliest method. The biggest advantage is that the pulling range is wide, and the length of the extracted hose can reach 1.5 meters. However, it is necessary to ensure the space around the gravity ball to avoid the sundries under the sink interfering with the gravity ball or the pulling tube, which will cause the faucet to not retract, so the lower part of the sink should ensure enough space for the accommodation and activity of the gravity ball.
Since there is no spring fatigue problem, the gravity ball pull faucet has a much longer life and basically no damage. (Avoids the phenomenon of breaking down faster than the rest of the faucet).
Of course, the shortcomings of the gravity ball pull faucet are also relative to the spring type, such as the adjustment accuracy is not high enough.
spring pull faucet
The spring pull faucet uses the universal rotation and the expansion and contraction of the hose to realize the pull, which ensures the functionality and the appearance is also very good.
The advantages of spring pull faucets are:
1. Since there is no gravity ball, it only relies on the exposed hose to achieve the effect of pulling the faucet, so no matter how much debris under the sink is not afraid of interference.
2. With precise adjustment performance, the relationship between force and displacement is sensitive;
3. Good soft performance and relatively wide deformation range;
4. The structure is relatively compact, and it is easier to use.
The disadvantage is that the life is not as good as that of the gravity hammer faucet, and the spring is easily fatigued, resulting in insufficient retraction. The extension is relatively short, not as good as a gravity hammer faucet. The buckle of the spring is also easy to cause the phenomenon of poor pulling. The appearance does not seem to be as good-looking as the gravity ball pull faucet.
