The kitchen is best to choose a long handle faucet, because its lever is long, the switch is labor-saving, and when cooking, there is often oil, detergent, etc., sometimes holding the bowl to be washed, so that it is very convenient to use the back of the hand or wrist to lift the long handle switch faucet.
First, the kitchen faucet can be rotated 360°. For ease of use, the kitchen faucet should be selected higher, the outlet nozzle should be very long, it is best to extend to the top of the drain, and can not splash water. If there is a hot water line in the kitchen, this faucet should also be double. In order to meet the needs of various uses, kitchen taps can generally be rotated 360°.
Second, choose stainless steel material. The material of the kitchen faucet is generally brass, which is the most common pure copper faucet on the market. However, due to the characteristics of the kitchen environment, pure copper faucets are not necessarily the best choice. All pure copper faucets have electroplating in the outermost layer, and the role of electroplating is to prevent the internal brass corrosion and rust. The kitchen fume is very large, coupled with the greasy hands and cleaning essence when washing dishes, will often need to clean the faucet. If you do not use the correct way to clean, it is likely to destroy the electroplating of the faucet, resulting in corrosion and rust of the faucet. If you want to choose all copper kitchen faucets, be sure to make sure that there is excellent plating, otherwise it is easy to cause rust corrosion of the faucets. And now some businessmen use high-quality 304 stainless steel manufacturing faucets, high-quality stainless steel manufacturing faucets and pure copper faucets compared with lead free, acid, alkali, corrosion, do not release harmful substances, will not pollute the water characteristics, and stainless steel faucets do not need plating, very difficult to rust, hardness, toughness are more than twice higher than copper products. So it is very convenient to clean. However, due to the high processing difficulty of stainless steel, the current high-quality stainless steel faucets are usually relatively high in price.
Third, pay attention to whether the length of the water nozzle can take into account both sides of the sink. When buying, pay attention to the length of the basin and the faucet, if the kitchen is a double basin, pay attention to whether the length of the nozzle can be taken into account when rotating both sides of the sink. Now most of the kitchen faucets can realize the left and right rotation of the main body of the faucet, and the nozzle part, the pull faucet can pull out the nozzle, which is convenient to clean to all corners of the sink, and the disadvantage is that a hand must be left to hold the nozzle when drawing the nozzle.
