Double Handle Sink Faucet is a kind of bathroom or kitchen water equipment commonly found in various types of sinks. Structurally, it mainly consists of a water outlet elbow and two independent handles. The water outlet elbow is usually arc-shaped, which can guide the water flow to the appropriate position for user convenience. The two handles are used to control the flow of hot and cold water respectively. By adjusting the degree of opening and closing of the handles, users can accurately adjust the water temperature. Its main material is generally metal, and the surface is finely electroplated to present a bright and beautiful appearance. It is not only practical, but also decorative.
Precise water temperature control: The double handle design of Double Handle Sink Faucet allows users to adjust the flow of cold water and hot water separately, thereby achieving precise control of water temperature. After professional testing, users can finely adjust the water temperature with a very small rotation range (such as fine adjustment of about 5 degrees), and the temperature adjustment accuracy can reach ±1.5℃. This precise control function can meet the personalized needs of different users for water temperature. Whether it is warm water to wash fruits and vegetables, wash hands, or hot water to clean oil stains, the ideal water temperature can be achieved quickly and accurately.
High-quality material and durability: The main body is mostly made of brass, which has good strength and corrosion resistance. In the salt spray test, after 96 hours of 5% neutral salt spray environment testing, only very slight signs of corrosion appeared on the surface of the brass material. This means that in daily use, even in a humid environment, the faucet can maintain the stability of the structure and the integrity of the surface, is not easy to rust and damage, and provides users with a long-term and reliable use experience.
Efficient water-saving design: The built-in water-saving valve core can effectively limit the maximum flow of water. According to relevant standard tests, under the condition of water pressure of 0.25MPa, the flow rate of the faucet can be controlled within a reasonable range, which can save about 30% - 35% of water compared with traditional faucets. This not only helps to save water resources and reduce water bills for households or commercial places, but also conforms to the concept of environmental protection and has positive significance for protecting the earth's water resources.
Surface plating is beautiful and anti-fouling: the surface is treated with multi-layer electroplating, the thickness of the electroplating layer is uniform, and the adhesion is strong. After the adhesion test, in the grid test, the electroplating layer fell off less than 3% after the tape was torn off. Its surface is smooth and flat, which is not only beautiful and generous, but also effectively prevents the adhesion of dirt and water stains. During daily cleaning, just wipe it gently with a soft cloth to keep it bright as new, reducing the difficulty and frequency of cleaning.
Flexible and convenient operation: The design of the handle conforms to the principle of ergonomics, and the shape and size are suitable for human hand holding and operation. The user only needs to gently turn the handle to easily control the size and temperature of the water flow, and the operation process is easy and labor-saving. This simple operation method is suitable for people of all ages and improves the ease of use of the faucet. Moreover, the handle rotates smoothly without jamming. After 100,000 switch tests, it can still maintain good operating performance.
Stable water flow output: The water outlet is equipped with a bubbler, which can fully mix the water flow with the air to form a soft water flow. This water flow can reduce the impact of the water flow and effectively reduce the possibility of splashing. During use, the water flow is stable and the flow rate is moderate. Under the water pressure of 0.25MPa, the water flow rate can be stabilized in a reasonable range and will not splash onto the countertop or the user, keeping the use environment clean and tidy, while also improving the comfort of water use.
Good high-pressure resistance: It can withstand a certain high-pressure environment. In the pressure test, the water pressure was increased to 1.5MPa (much higher than the daily water pressure), and all parts of the faucet could work normally without leakage, deformation and other problems. This allows it to operate stably under different water pressure conditions, whether it is the unstable water pressure in high-rise residential buildings or the demand for higher water pressure in commercial places, it can provide water safely and reliably.
Excellent sealing performance: It uses high-quality sealing gaskets and has undergone rigorous sealing tests. When the water pressure is 0.5MPa, the faucet has no leakage after the water valve is closed. Good sealing performance can prevent water waste, avoid problems such as slippery floors and damp cabinets caused by water leakage, and also extend the service life of the faucet.

Clean the surface regularly: Wipe the surface of the faucet with a clean soft cloth every week to remove water stains, dirt and fingerprints. If there are stubborn stains on the surface, you can use a mild neutral detergent to gently wipe it, then rinse it with clean water and wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Avoid using detergents containing abrasive particles, strong acids or strong alkalis to avoid scratching or corroding the electroplating layer, affecting the beauty and durability of the faucet.
Check the tightness of the parts: Check whether the various parts of the faucet are tight every month, including handles, nuts, etc. During daily use, due to frequent operation and vibration, the parts may gradually loosen. If looseness is found, tighten it with appropriate tools in time to prevent loose parts from leaking or damage. During the tightening process, pay attention to moderate force to avoid excessive force causing damage to the parts.
Clean the aerator: Clean the aerator at the water outlet every once in a while to prevent scale and impurities from clogging. The aerator can be removed, soaked in white vinegar for a period of time, then rinsed with clean water, and then reinstalled. This ensures smooth water flow and reduces splashing. It also extends the life of the aerator and ensures the normal water discharge function of the faucet.
Avoid collision and scratches: In daily use, be careful to avoid collision and scratches on the faucet to avoid damage to the electroplating layer and the main structure. Collisions may cause dents and deformation on the surface of the faucet, and scratches will damage the electroplating layer and make the faucet lose its luster. Be careful not to touch the faucet when carrying heavy objects. If a collision occurs accidentally, stop using it immediately and carefully check whether the faucet is damaged. If necessary, repair or replace it in time.
Check the sealing performance regularly: Check the sealing performance of the faucet every quarter to check for water leakage. You can turn off the water valve and observe whether there is still water dripping from the faucet. If a leak is found, the sealing gasket or other damaged parts should be replaced in time. The sealing gasket may age and wear after long-term use, resulting in poor sealing and leakage. Timely replacement of the sealing gasket can prevent water waste and further damage to the faucet.
Prevent chemical corrosion: Avoid contact between the faucet and strong acid, strong alkali and other chemicals, such as certain detergents, hair dyes, etc. These chemicals are highly corrosive. Once they come into contact with the faucet, they may quickly corrode the electroplating layer and the metal body, affecting the appearance and performance of the faucet. If accidentally contacted, rinse it immediately with plenty of clean water and wipe it dry with a dry cloth. During daily use and storage, be careful to keep chemicals away from the faucet.
Pay attention to water temperature changes: Try to avoid extreme water temperature changes for the faucet. Sudden high or low temperatures may damage the internal parts and seals of the faucet. During use, the water temperature should be adjusted slowly to avoid sudden changes in water temperature. For example, do not adjust cold water directly to high temperature, or quickly adjust from high temperature to low temperature, which may cause the seal to expand or contract too quickly, affecting the sealing performance, or even damaging the internal parts.
Maintenance when not in use for a long time: If the faucet is not used for a long time, the water valve should be closed and the water in the faucet should be drained to prevent water from being retained in the faucet, causing corrosion and breeding bacteria. Water that has been retained for a long time may contain various impurities and microorganisms, which will cause corrosion and pollution to the inside of the faucet. Before reuse, open the water valve and let the water run for a while to flush away any impurities and dirt that may be present, ensure that the water is clean, and then use the faucet normally.
