Please follow the steps below before purchasing a Hot And Cold Faucet to avoid accidental traps on the day of installation.
- Put it on the sink first. Its size, shape, and characteristics will determine where the faucet should be installed and how much the nozzle should reach. Find this information on the manufacturer's website.
- Go shopping in person if possible. Visit the family center and kitchen showroom, check the display on the faucet. Make sure that the handle is easy to turn, and features such as pull-out and pull-down spouts are comfortable for you.
- Measure the height of the nozzle. There are no strict rules, but ideally, the faucet should be high enough to clear your deepest pot, but not high enough to splash around when the water hits the bowl of the sink.
- Check the gap. Make sure there is enough space behind and beside the faucet to clean the body and use the handle without scratching the knuckles.
- Choose accessories early. Order accessories with a faucet, such as a soap dispenser or a separate sprayer, and add a hole to it on the countertop or sink.
Before buying, you must first determine the material of the faucet. Brass is the most popular choice. It is durable and easy to cast. The company provides a variety of models and surface treatments. Some nozzles are made of plastic, so they are lighter in weight and keep cool to the touch; other parts may be made of zinc. Do research to know what you are buying.
Stainless steel is another good choice, although it is expensive. Not to be confused with the stainless steel finish painted on brass, the sturdy stainless steel faucet does not require a separate finish. Some companies use transparent protective coatings to resist water spots and fingerprints.
Secondly, choose the correct valve type. In order to control the flow and temperature of the water, today's faucets use cartridge valves to enclose all working parts in an easily replaceable unit (which means there is no need to replace gaskets). Some valves are made of plastic or metal, but the best valves contain a pair of extremely hard, super smooth ceramic discs that rarely leak and are not affected by hard water deposits. The only downside: the disc is fragile, and if you touch any debris, they may break, so before installing the faucet, make sure to flush your supply line. Cartridge valves vary by faucet brand and model; if you need to replace it, please order directly from the manufacturer.
