First, the kitchen faucet can rotate 360 degrees.
For the convenience of use, the kitchen faucet should be higher and the water outlet nozzle should be very long, preferably extending above the drain, and splashing water is not allowed. If there is a hot water pipe in the kitchen, this faucet should be double. In order to meet various use requirements, kitchen faucets can generally rotate 360.
First, the treatment and quality of the surface coating.
B, the main body of the faucet should be made of bronze or brass casting.
C the quality of the plug inside the faucet directly determines the sealing performance and service life of the faucet.
D, the faucet handle should be larger.
E, should choose a faucet with large water output and fast water stop.
F. What should I pay attention to when choosing a faucet? First, move the switch several times to see if the parts are firmly and closely matched. When you twist the switch, it is better to feel soft. If the handle is hard, astringent and light, it shows that its assembly structure is unreasonable. This faucet is either short of water supply or leaks when the water pressure increases.
Second, choose the material of stainless steel.
The kitchen faucet is made of pure copper, and the outermost layer of the faucet is electroplated. The function of electroplating is to prevent internal brass from corrosion and rust. There is a lot of oil smoke in the kitchen, plus greasy hands when washing dishes, as well as skin cleanser, which often needs to clean the faucet. If it is not cleaned in the right way, it is likely to destroy the electroplating layer of the faucet, resulting in corrosion and rust of the faucet. If you want to choose all-copper kitchen faucet, you must ensure that there is excellent electroplating, otherwise it will rust and corrode easily. Compared with pure copper faucet, the faucet made of high-quality stainless steel has the characteristics of lead-free, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, non-corrosive, non-release of harmful substances and non-pollution of tap water source. Moreover, stainless steel faucet does not need electroplating, so it is extremely difficult to rust, and its hardness and toughness are more than twice that of copper products, so it is very convenient to clean. However, due to the difficulty in processing stainless steel, the current high-quality stainless steel faucets are usually relatively expensive.
Third, pay attention to whether the length of the water nozzle can take care of the sinks on both sides.
Pay attention to the length of the basin and faucet when buying. If the kitchen is a double basin, pay attention to whether the length of the faucet can take care of the sinks on both sides at the same time when rotating. At present, most kitchen faucets can realize the left-right rotation of the faucet body, and in the faucet part, the pull-out faucet can pull out the faucet, which is convenient for cleaning every corner of the sink. Its disadvantage is that one hand must be left to hold the faucet when pulling it out.

Single cold water faucet or mixing faucet can be installed (the lower parts of cold and hot water hoses are connected). It is called "single-hole single-handle faucet". Because two thin hoses are connected to a faucet, the amount of water is limited. This kind of single-hole faucet combining cold and heat is common in the high faucet of kitchen basin.
2 double holes

Generally, the water quantity is adjusted by lifting or pressing the handle, and the outlet water temperature is adjusted according to the left and right deflection of the indicator. Very suitable for ordinary families. It is suggested to choose high-quality ceramic valves to prolong the service life of such faucets.
Double-hole faucets can also be equipped with integral faucets with separate adjustment of cold and heat.
3 three holes
These three mounting holes are also called "separated" washbasin faucets. It is characterized by hot water, cold water and water outlets, and each station uses a hole.
Elegant and elegant, suitable for large countertops and washbasins. The occupied area is larger than the above single hole and two holes, and the installation is a little more complicated. It is a little inconvenient to operate the temperature adjustment with one hand. But at the same time, the water comes out, which is large and can be filled in a short time.
