Faucet is a kind of hardware that has been in use since tap water, and it's also an indispensable hardware in our home. We are already familiar with it. But is your faucet really installed right? In fact, in many families, the installation of faucets is not very standard, and there are some problems, more or less. Kaiping copper faucet manufacturers have summed up five misunderstandings, let's see if we have made such a mistake?

Mistake 1: different functional areas install the same type of faucet

There are many kinds of faucets. According to different functional areas, faucets mainly include basin faucet, bathtub faucet, washing machine faucet and sink faucet. The structure and function of faucets in different functional areas are different. The faucets in basin, sink and bathtub generally use two types of heating and cooling type and bubbler. The faucets of washing machine only need Single cooling faucet is OK, because the water flow of single cooling faucet scours faster, which can play a certain water-saving effect.

Mistake 2: hot and cold water pipes are not separated

In general, the hot and cold water faucets control the mixing ratio of hot and cold water through different opening angles on both sides of the ceramic valve core, and then regulate the water temperature. If there is only cold water pipe, two water inlet hoses can be connected when installing hot and cold water faucets, and the upper angle valve can also play a role.

Mistake 3: angle valve is not used for connection of faucet and water pipe

All hot and cold faucets in the home must be connected to the water pipe with angle valve, in order to prevent the faucet leakage from affecting the water use in other parts of the family. The faucet of the washing machine does not need hot water, so it can be directly connected with the water pipe.

Mistake 4: faucets are not cleaned regularly

Many families never pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of the faucet after it is installed. As time goes on, not only the water quality of the faucet is not guaranteed, but also various faults will occur, affecting the use. In fact, the correct way is to clean the surface stains and water stains every other month after the installation of the faucet. If there is a thick accumulation of scale inside, just pour white vinegar into the faucet pipe to soak for a while, and then open the hot water valve to drain the water.

Mistake 5: the faucet is not replaced regularly

Generally, the faucet can be replaced after five years of use. If it is used for a long time, it will praise a lot of bacteria and dirt inside. If it is used for a long time, it will cause harm to human body. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the faucet once every five years.
