What Are the Things to Consider When Choosing a Kitchen Faucet?

The kitchen faucet is a faucet that is used frequently in the family. It is indispensable for daily washing vegetables, washing dishes, and cooking. It is very important for the convenience and health of life. We should consider it comprehensively when doing home decoration. How to choose a suitable kitchen faucet?

The first is the material selection of the kitchen faucet. It is recommended to choose stainless steel. Stainless steel is not only environmentally friendly and hygienic, but also easy to clean and corrosion-resistant. The kitchen is very easy to accumulate dirt and grease, and stainless steel is not so stressful to clean. Common stainless steels include 201, 202, 304, 316, etc. Among these materials, kitchen faucets generally choose 304 food-grade stainless steel as the material.

Then it is about the choice of valve core. The valve core is the heart of the faucet. It not only determines the water quality, but also affects whether it leaks. Choosing a good valve core is also crucial. The faucet valve core mainly includes rubber valve core, stainless steel valve core, and ceramic valve core. At present, various brands of faucets on the market generally use ceramic valve cores, which are of good quality, not easy to corrode, and have good sealing.

After the selection is completed, it is time to install it. The kitchen faucet is often installed on the sink. It is more convenient to choose a faucet that can rotate back and forth. Especially if there is a double sink at home, it is convenient to wash vegetables and pots and bowls at the same time, which is more flexible and convenient.
