A new experience that breaks through tradition: a guide to purchasing pull-out kitchen faucet：
In this vibrant day, I bring you a super practical guide for purchasing pull-out kitchen faucet. Recently, we have found that many friends’ homes are using pull-out kitchen faucet. The effect is simply amazing. It is super worry-free and labor-saving, and you are instantly hooked! Adhering to the principle of being responsible to everyone, we have conducted an in-depth study of the powerful functions of pull-out faucets and key purchase points, and now share them with you without reservation.
1.Is the pull-out kitchen faucet really useful?
Washing dishes, washing vegetables, and cleaning the sink are seemingly insignificant tasks, but in practice they often consume a lot of energy. Maybe we can’t always share housework with our families, but we can choose a thoughtful pull-out kitchen faucet for them to reduce their workload. The pull-out faucet can be pulled out for use, rotates 360°, and automatically extends and retracts. Installing one in the kitchen will eliminate the hassle of cleaning dishes, fruits and vegetables, and around the sink, saving worry and effort.
Ordinary faucets have many disadvantages:
- The water outlet is fixed and cleaning is inconvenient;
- The water outlet is single and the user experience is poor;
- There is no pull-out function and the cleaning space is limited.
The LINLI kitchen pull-out faucet has three water discharge methods, adding infinite convenience to your kitchen life.
- Soft columnar water outlet: The water outlet is concentrated, suitable for daily water filling and hand washing.
- Small waist water outlet: wide spray area, suitable for cleaning table tops and tank bottoms.
- Supercharged blade water outlet: The water outlet is strong and suitable for cleaning dishes and other items with heavy oil stains.
LINLI pull-out kitchen faucet:
1.It adopts gun gray wire drawing process and has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
2.Equipped with a gravity ball to form a gravity system, it can be easily restored to its original position after being pulled out.
3.Dual hot and cold controls, ceramic valve core, no need to worry about any water quality problems, bid farewell to the blind spot where ordinary faucets cannot flush water.
4.Made of stainless steel, it is resistant to high temperatures, has a long service life, is not easily damaged, and is anti-aging.
5.The smooth handle adopts a ceramic valve core, which allows smooth opening and closing.
6.The honeycomb water outlet brings oxygen-friendly water flow, and the aerodynamic water splash does not splash.
2.Choose the kitchen faucet in this way, which is the most cost-effective
In order to avoid pitfalls and make the pull-out faucet more secure and comfortable to use after purchasing it, you need to understand the basic main structure and materials when purchasing. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you choose the faucet that best suits you.
1.Valve core material
The valve core is called the heart of the faucet, controlling the direction and water flow of the faucet. Every time you turn the faucet on or off, you rely on the valve core. If the valve core is not good, it may cause problems such as the faucet not closing tightly, leakage from the handle, and reduced water flow. At present, the mainstream market adopts ceramic valve cores, which are wear-resistant, good sealing, low pollution, stable performance and long service life, and extremely cost-effective. Many brands choose ceramic valve cores.
- Drawing tube material
The most commonly used part of a pull-out kitchen faucet is the stretch part. If the quality of the drawn tube is not good, problems such as difficulty in reset, slippage, and water leakage may easily occur. The pull-out tube is generally made of nylon fiber and metal hose.
Nylon drawn tube: wear-resistant, soft as steel, longer service life.
Metal draw tube: It feels better in the hand, but repeated pulling for a long time may cause tripping and may also wear the electroplating layer on the metal surface.
It is recommended to use nylon fiber pull-out tube, safety and durability are crucial.
3.Main body material
Stainless steel and brass are the most common and high-quality faucet body materials.
Brass faucets are mature in processing, simple in process, can be produced in a variety of shapes, and have high-end colors. But it should be noted that pure copper refers to copper with a purity greater than 99.5%. It is a soft metal and cannot be used to make faucets. Manufacturers will add lead during the production process, and high-quality brass faucets will undergo lead washing to reduce the lead content and ensure safety.
Stainless steel contains 0 lead, has better hardness and toughness than copper, does not rust, and is more durable. However, inferior stainless steel will precipitate hexavalent chromium (hexavalent chromium can damage liver function and cause kidney failure), and 201 material also has the problem of excessive manganese. When purchasing, be sure to look for stainless steel materials of SUS304 or above.
- Surface technology
This is the part that we can directly judge with the naked eye, and it is also the last factor to consider. The surface treatment process of the faucet determines its color, glossy or matte effect, and also determines whether it is rusty and whether it is easy to clean. There are three main processes on the market: electroplating, wire drawing, and baking.
Electroplated chrome: bright mirror surface, like new when used, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, not easy to retain scale, long service life. When purchasing, check whether the brand has passed the salt spray test. Currently, the national standard requires the neutral salt spray test to reach level 9 within 24 hours. Faucets that can pass a 24-hour acid salt spray test to level six or above will basically not show any rust after five or more years of normal use.
Metal brushing: Brushing is mostly used for stainless steel materials. The surface has a matte texture, does not leave fingerprints, has high wear resistance, and is easier to clean from water stains.
Paint process: Most of the popular black and white styles are painted, which does not leave fingerprints. However, it is worth noting that black paint is easy to peel off, so when purchasing, pay attention to whether there is paint peeling off the surface.
Each of the three techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages and can be chosen according to personal preference.
