How many faucets have you installed in your home

Most families do not divide the space and use needs, buy a lot of the same faucet to the house to install only, in fact, this is not scientific, at least in a family can have a single cold type, cold and warm type, foam type 3 kinds of faucets.

Faucets are divided by use into basins, kitchen basins, bathtubs, washing machines and mops. And from the function and structure, and can be divided into single cold ordinary faucet, sensor faucet, variable temperature faucet, take the bubble water-saving faucet, etc.. The common types of faucets for basins, kitchen basins and bathtubs are variable temperature and with bubbles, and single-cooler faucets are used for washing machines and mop sinks.

Many people know about faucets, but they don’t know about angle valves. Angle valves have a 90-degree angle between the outlet and inlet, connect the inner wall water pipe to the faucet hose, and control the water flow on and off.

Usually hot and cold water faucets (with hot and cold water inlet pipes) must use an angle valve to connect to the water hose, while faucets similar to washing machine faucets and mop sink faucets open quickly and can be connected directly to the water hose, as this does not require an angle valve. Generally, each hot and cold water faucet needs two angle valves to match each other. In case there is a leak in the faucet, just close the angle valve, so that will not affect the rest of the home water.
