What is the role of the spool?


  Most of the faucets are made of special bubblers on the water-saving appliances. The water will not splash. When water is saved, the aerobic water with bubbles has better flushing power and comfort. When purchasing, you can test the water first to see if the water shows bubbles. Also consider its combination with sanitary ware to see if the model is correct. The price of the faucet is high, but it is still economical in the long run. Choose the water-saving faucet, in addition to picking your favorite faucet shape, you must pay special attention to the quality of the spool.


  The best is the faucet made of ball valve, which is the industry's best water-saving product. In particular, stainless steel ball valves and copper ball valves can control the water temperature to ensure that hot water flows out quickly and accurately, saving water and energy.


  The spool is a valve component that relies on its movement to achieve the basic functions of directional control, pressure control or flow control. The control of any faucet requires a spool. For the faucet, the quality of the spool is an important basis for the quality evaluation of the faucet. It can be said that the most important factor affecting the quality of the faucet is the spool.


  Type of faucet spool


  Common faucet spools have steel ball spools and ceramic spools. The steel ball valve core has good resistance to pressure, but the defect is that the rubber sealing ring which is used for sealing is easy to wear and will soon age. Compared with the steel ball valve core, the ceramic valve core is more heat-resistant and wear-resistant. The ceramic valve core itself has an excellent sealing function, so that it can reach a high number of open-opening times without causing the nozzle to drip due to the wear of the valve core. The ceramic valve core faucet is also more comfortable and smooth, and is open and closed.


  What is the material of the faucet spool?


  At present, the faucets sold on the market mainly have three common materials: ceramic, stainless steel, shaft rolling, etc. The quality and advantageous performance of the faucet spool made of different materials are different:


  1. Ceramic valve core:


  This is currently the most popular type of faucet valve core. Compared with other material spools, it has good sealing performance, good wear resistance and stable physical properties, so its long service life, even for long-term frequent switch faucets, The sealing performance will not be weakened, and the natural faucet will not leak when it is used, but the price of the ceramic valve faucet is also quite expensive.


  2, stainless steel valve core:


  These faucet spools are mainly processed into irregular seven-hole steel ball valve cores by laser technology. These valve core products have high technical content and are an emerging type of valve core products. Generally, the faucets designed by stainless steel valve cores are more suitable. In places with poor water quality, because it is not affected by impurities in the water, the service life will last for a long time.


  3, shaft rolling valve core:


  This type of faucet valve core has the same name as its name, its handle is smooth, easy to operate, comfortable and easy to handle, and resistant to aging and wear. Although it has so many advantages, it is gradually withdrawing from the market and is being replaced by some new types. The faucet spool is replaced.


  Faucet valve core purchase considerations


  When selecting a faucet spool, no matter which type of spool is selected, in order to select a quality product, you must pay more attention to the purchase process:


  1. When you purchase, you can switch the faucet handle repeatedly, and feel the resistance in the middle of the switch when you touch the upper and lower switches. Generally, there is no feeling of being blocked.


  2, when the valve core is hot and cold, it can also be judged by the feeling. When the valve core is good, it is "idle", and the hand feel is light and there is no resistance.


  3. Use the index finger and middle finger to gently clamp the handle of the faucet to move it up and down and left and right, to see if it is flexible and not loose, whether it has a blocking feel, whether it has oil-damaged feel, flexibility, no looseness, no blocking feeling and The heavy oil-damped hand feels that the faucet spool you choose is a quality product.


  4, try to choose a regular manufacturer to buy, do not underestimate the faucet spool, which determines the length of the faucet to a certain extent!
