What is a bathtub faucet? Installed above one side of the bathtub for opening up hot and cold mixed water. The structures that can connect cold and hot pipes are called dual switch water flow, including spiral lifting type, metal ball valve type, ceramic valve core type, etc. How to choose to identify bathtub faucets in home decoration?
First, look at the surface. The main casting and surface treatment of legitimate products have strict technical requirements, and after neutral salt spray testing, there should be no rust during the corresponding time period. Therefore, when selecting a faucet, it is important to pay attention to its surface, touch it without burrs, observe it without pores, etching, oxidation spots, luster, and coating thickness. The surface coatings include zinc plating, titanium plating, coating, 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 easy to peel off and oxidize. The electroplating layer must have a protective film, and electroplating layers without a protective film are prone to fading.
2. Gently rotate the handle to check if it is lightweight and flexible, and if it blocks the sense of heaviness. The switch has no clearance, is simple, and does not slide. Poor quality has large gaps and a strong sense of resistance.
3. When tapping on the main body of the faucet, the sound is boring. Carefully observe the faucet interface to see if it is made of copper. When tapping, the sound is clear and may be made of stainless steel or other materials, but of course 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, with a heavy self weight and a sense of gravity.
4. Inspect each component and observe if the assembly is tight and loose. Generally speaking, the faucet of a single handle mixing basin comes with an installation dimension diagram and user manual when leaving the factory. Before installation and use, please open the product packaging and check the certificate of conformity to avoid using the "three no" product. If it is an imported product, be careful. Also, check if the parts are complete.
