How to choose a bathtub faucet during decoration
What is a bathtub faucet? Installed above one side of the bathtub, used to open up mixed hot and cold water. The structure of dual switch water flow, which can connect hot and cold pipes, includes screw lift type, metal ball valve type, ceramic valve core type, etc. How to choose and identify bathtub faucets in home decoration?
Firstly, look at the surface. The main casting and surface treatment of regular products have strict technical requirements, and after neutral salt spray testing, there should be no rust during the corresponding time period. Therefore, when choosing a faucet, attention should be paid to its surface, with no burrs when touched, no pores, etching, oxidation spots, gloss, and coating thickness observed. The surface coating includes galvanizing, titanium plating, painting, etc. The coating thickness is good, and the surface of the coating can be observed with the eyes to see if it is bright. The imported faucet has a thick coating that is not easily peeled off or oxidized. The electroplating layer must have a protective film, as an electroplating layer without a protective film is prone to fading.
2. Gently rotate the handle to see if it is lightweight and flexible, and if it feels blocked or heavy. The switch has no gap, simple, and no sliding. Poor quality with large gaps and high resistance.
3. Tap the faucet body, the sound is boring. Carefully observe the faucet interface to see if it is made of copper. When tapping, the sound is clear, which may be made of stainless steel or other materials, but it is not good. Check whether the various components of the faucet, especially the main components, are tightly assembled. Good valve bodies and handles are made of refined materials, which have a heavy weight and a sense of solidity.
4. Inspect each component and observe whether the assembly is tight and loose. Generally speaking, faucets with a single handle mixed basin come with installation dimension drawings and user manuals at the factory. Before installation and use, please open the product packaging and check the certificate of conformity to avoid using "three no" products. If it is an imported product, be careful. Additionally, check if the parts are complete.
