The Structure Of Stainless Steel Kitchen Faucet
Apr 08, 2025
The structure of stainless steel kitchen faucet mainly includes the following parts: valve core, body, surface treatment, faucet handle, faucet and sealing ring, etc.
Main components and their functions
Valve core: The valve core is the core component of the faucet, responsible for controlling water flow and water temperature. The types of valve cores include ceramic valve cores, stainless steel valve cores and copper valve cores. Among them, ceramic valve cores are widely used due to their wear resistance, high temperature resistance and good sealing properties. Stainless steel valve cores are suitable for areas with poor water quality because they are not easily affected by impurities and can accurately adjust water temperature and save energy.
Main body: The main body is the body of the faucet, usually made of stainless steel, ceramic, brass and other materials. Stainless steel is highly respected for its corrosion resistance and lead-free properties.
Surface treatment: The surface treatment process affects the beauty and durability of the faucet. High-quality treatment processes can extend the service life of the faucet and reduce maintenance requirements.
Faucet handle: The handle is the operating part, which controls the opening and closing of the water flow by rotating, pushing, pulling or pressing. Common handle designs include single handle and double handle. The single handle can adjust the water temperature and water flow at the same time, while the double handle controls the hot and cold water separately.
Spout: The spout is the outlet part, designed in a curved or straight shape, which affects the direction and range of the water flow. It is usually made of copper or stainless steel to ensure corrosion resistance and long-term use.
Sealing ring and gasket: These parts are used at the joints to prevent water leakage. Common sealing materials are rubber and silicone to ensure that the faucet maintains good sealing performance during long-term use.
