The main body of the faucet refers to the pipe body, which is mainly made of bronze material, but has now been replaced with brass. The copper content of high-end faucets is above 85%. The main body of the entrance faucet has basically no pores, while domestic faucets lack the unique pressure resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the entrance Huasheng theory due to the backwardness of price and technology, as well as the limitations of surface sandblasting treatment.

The internal structure of cold and hot faucets mainly consists of connecting gooseneck pipes, flushing pipes, sealing rings, lower disc root boxes, and connecting central pipes; The valve core of the hot and cold faucet has two holes, and a sealing ring to ensure sealing function.

Kitchen faucet principle



Detailed explanation of the structure and principle of kitchen faucets



The kitchen faucet is mainly composed of a spiral valve core, which mainly relies on the rotation of the valve stem to generate displacement through the thread, achieving the effect of opening and closing the inlet hole.



When we rotate the valve stem, the thread engages, causing the sealing end of the valve core to move forward and retreat. When we twist the valve core in, we seal the inlet and seal the position of the outlet, relying on the sealing end of the valve core to seal the outlet to achieve the alternation of cold and hot water.
