Basin faucet refers to the faucet used on bathroom countertops and porcelain.
First, the basic information of the basin faucet
(1) Basin faucets are divided into wall-mounted faucets and sitting faucets according to the installation method.
1. Wall-mounted basin faucet: refers to the faucet that protrudes from the wall facing the basin, and the water pipe is buried in the wall. This has broken the traditional concept and is now a fashionable design method.
2. Bidet Faucet: Refers to the regular water pipe connected to the basin hole, and the faucet that wants to be connected to the basin. This is the most common way to install a faucet.
(2) Basin faucets are divided into: single-handle single-hole faucet, double-handle double-hole faucet, single-handle double-hole faucet and double-handle single-hole faucet according to the faucet type.
1. Single-handle single-hole basin faucet: It means that the faucet has only one water inlet pipe interface and only one faucet valve. This type of faucet is usually used when only cold water is flowing in.
2. Double-handle double-hole basin faucet: It means that the faucet has two inlet pipe joints to separate the hot and cold water, and the faucet also has two valve controls, one for hot water and one for cold water.
3. Single-handle double-hole basin faucet: means that the faucet has two water inlet pipes and a faucet valve. This type of faucet usually adjusts hot and cold water by turning the valve left and right or up and down.
4. Double handle single-hole basin faucet: means that the faucet has one water inlet pipe interface and two faucet valves.
Second, the knowledge of purchasing basin faucets
1. Look at the appearance: The chrome plating process on the surface of a good faucet is very particular, and it can usually be completed through several processes. To distinguish the quality of a faucet, it depends on its brightness. The smoother and brighter the surface, the better the quality.
2. Turn the handle: When the handle of the faucet is turned, there is no excessive gap between the faucet and the switch, and the switch is free and does not slip. However, inferior faucets not only have a large drop, but also have a large sense of obstruction.
3. Listen to the sound: The material of the faucet is the most difficult to distinguish. A good faucet is made of copper as a whole, and the sound is dull. If the sound is crisp, it’s definitely stainless steel and the quality is a notch worse.
4. Logo identification: If you can’t tell the difference, you can choose a regular brand. Generally, regular products have the brand logo of the manufacturer, while some irregular products or inferior products often only stick some paper labels, or even no logo. Be careful when buying.
