Dual Handle faucet is a very representative type in the faucet family. It usually consists of a water outlet elbow and two independent and separate handles, which are responsible for controlling the flow of cold water and hot water respectively. From the appearance, it shows a simple and elegant design style. Its water outlet elbow presents a smooth arc with beautiful lines, like a delicate work of art. The design of the two handles is exquisite and textured, which complements the overall shape.
Precise water temperature regulation: One of the core advantages of the Dual Handle Faucet is its ability to achieve precise water temperature regulation. Each handle independently controls the flow of cold and hot water, a design that allows users to accurately adjust the appropriate water temperature according to their needs. Professional testing has found that under normal use, users can quickly adjust the water temperature from 5°C to 45°C in just 10 seconds with the help of a dual-handle faucet, and the error range is strictly controlled within ±2°C. This accuracy is crucial for various water use scenarios in daily life. For example, when washing in the early morning, people can accurately adjust the water temperature to about 37°C, which is close to human body temperature, to avoid feeling cold stimulation due to low water temperature, or scalding the skin due to high water temperature. When washing ingredients in the kitchen, the appropriate water temperature can also be adjusted according to the characteristics of the ingredients, such as washing fresh vegetables with cold water to maintain their crisp and tender taste, and washing oily tableware with warm water can more efficiently remove stains. This precise water temperature regulation ability greatly improves the comfort and convenience of water use.
High-quality and durable materials: Double-handle faucets are usually made of high-quality metal materials, such as stainless steel or brass, and undergo a sophisticated surface treatment process. Taking stainless steel as an example, in a strict salt spray test, it was placed in a 5% sodium chloride salt spray environment for 500 hours, and only very slight signs of corrosion appeared on its surface, with a corrosion depth of less than 0.1 mm. This excellent corrosion resistance is due to the reasonable ratio of alloy elements such as chromium and nickel in stainless steel. These elements form a dense and strong oxide film on the surface of the steel, effectively preventing the invasion of external corrosive substances. In the actual use environment, whether it is a humid bathroom or a kitchen with more oil, this excellent corrosion resistance can ensure that the faucet maintains stable performance for a long time, and will not affect the appearance and use function due to rust. At the same time, the metal material gives the faucet enough strength to enable it to withstand collisions and friction in daily use, and it is not easy to deform, which greatly extends the service life of the product and reduces the trouble and cost of frequent replacement of faucets.
Smooth water flow control: The design of the water outlet elbow is the key factor for the double-handle faucet to achieve smooth water flow control. The carefully optimized shape and internal structure of the water outlet elbow ensure smooth and even water flow. Advanced fluid mechanics simulation tests show that within the normal water pressure range (0.1 - 0.5MPa), the water flow rate of the faucet can be stably maintained at 1.5 - 3.0 liters/minute, and the water flow is uniform and soft without splashing. This smooth water flow control not only improves the convenience of water use, but also effectively saves water. When washing hands, the uniform and soft water flow can fully wet your hands, making it easier for hand sanitizer to foam and wash more thoroughly, while avoiding the waste of water resources caused by excessive water flow. When washing large tableware in the kitchen, the stable water flow can fully cover the surface of the tableware, quickly rinse off stains, and improve cleaning efficiency.
Easy and flexible operation: The handle design of the double-handle faucet fully considers the ergonomic principles and is easy and flexible to operate. The rotation force of the handle has been carefully adjusted. After actual testing, the average operating force required to open and close the faucet is less than 5 Newtons, which can be easily operated even by the elderly and children. Moreover, the rotation angle of the handle is usually designed between 90° and 180°, which allows users to easily and accurately adjust the water flow and water temperature as needed. During operation, users only need to gently turn the handle to experience a smooth operation experience, and can complete the switch and adjustment actions without effort. This simple and flexible operation method brings great convenience to users, especially when their hands are covered with foam or holding objects, they can easily operate the faucet.
Good sealing performance: The double-handle faucet uses high-quality seals in the internal structure. After rigorous sealing test verification, the leakage of the faucet is less than 0.1 ml/min under a water pressure of 1.0MPa for 30 minutes. This good sealing performance is essential to prevent water waste and protect surrounding facilities. In daily life, if the faucet is poorly sealed, it will not only cause unwarranted waste of water resources, but also cause damage to surrounding facilities such as cabinets and walls due to long-term moisture. The double-handle faucet effectively avoids these problems with its excellent sealing performance. Whether it is after long-term continuous use or frequent operation of the switch, it can maintain a reliable sealing state to ensure the normal operation of the faucet, saving users water expenses and reducing the maintenance trouble caused by leakage.
Beautiful and exquisite appearance: The surface of the double-handle faucet has been finely polished or brushed to present a smooth and bright appearance. Its surface roughness Ra value is less than 0.8μm, with extremely high finish, not only delicate to the touch, but also visually very beautiful. This beautiful and exquisite appearance enables it to be perfectly integrated with various decoration styles. Whether it is a modern minimalist kitchen with simple lines and cool colors, the exquisite appearance of the double-handle faucet can be the finishing touch of the kitchen; or a European classical style bathroom, its elegant shape and metal texture can complement the gorgeous tiles and retro bathroom cabinets, and enhance the decoration level of the entire space.

Daily surface cleaning: Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the surface of the faucet to remove dust and water stains accumulated daily. For more stubborn stains, dilute a mild neutral detergent, wipe it with a damp cloth, rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid using detergents containing abrasive particles, strong acids or alkalinity, as these detergents may scratch or corrode the surface coating of the faucet. For example, steel wool, abrasive powder detergents, etc. cannot be used to clean faucets. Perform a comprehensive surface cleaning at least once a week to keep the faucet shiny and tidy. During the cleaning process, pay attention to wiping the handle, the water outlet elbow, and the parts in contact with the countertop to prevent stains from accumulating in these hidden places.
Regularly check the connection parts: Every 2-3 months, carefully check whether the connection parts between the faucet and the water pipe, the handle and the valve core are loose. If loose, use appropriate tools to tighten it in time. Loose connection parts may cause leakage, unstable water flow, etc., affecting the normal use of the faucet. At the same time, check whether the sealing gasket at the connection part is aged or damaged, and replace it in time if necessary. The aging of the sealing gasket may cause poor sealing and water leakage. Timely replacement can avoid waste of water resources and damage to surrounding facilities.
Prevent scale accumulation: In hard water areas, scale is easy to accumulate inside the faucet, affecting the water flow and water temperature regulation function. You can use a special scale remover to clean it regularly (every 2-3 months). Dilute the scale remover according to the instructions, pour it into the water inlet of the faucet, soak it for a while, and then open the faucet to rinse it. You can also use white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio. Soak the water outlet elbow and internal parts of the faucet for 1-2 hours, and then rinse it with clean water. The accumulation of scale will reduce the water flow channel, resulting in a smaller water flow and affecting the user experience. Regular scale removal can maintain the good performance of the faucet.
Avoid external impact: In daily use, pay special attention to avoid external impact on the faucet. Tell family members or people at the place of use not to hit the faucet with heavy objects. When moving furniture or other items, be careful to avoid the faucet to prevent scratching or damaging the surface and internal structure of the faucet. If a collision occurs accidentally, check whether the function and appearance of the faucet are damaged in time. A slight external force impact may cause the internal parts of the faucet to loosen, affecting the performance; a serious impact may cause the faucet to deform or break, which requires timely repair or replacement.
Winter antifreeze protection: In the cold winter, if the temperature in the area is low, take antifreeze measures to protect the faucet. When the temperature may drop below freezing, when the faucet is not in use, turn on the faucet to a small water flow state, let the water flow slowly, and prevent the water in the water pipe from freezing and expanding to damage the faucet and water pipe. If the faucet is not used for a long time, the main water source valve should be closed, the faucet should be opened to drain the water in the water pipe, and then the faucet and water pipe should be wrapped with insulation materials (such as foam plastics, insulation cotton, etc.) to play a role in insulation. When turning on a small water flow, be careful not to let the water flow too large to avoid wasting water resources.
Maintenance when not in use for a long time: If the faucet is not used for a long time, such as when going on vacation or when the house is vacant, the main water valve should be closed and the water in the water pipe should be drained to prevent the water from staying in the water pipe for a long time to breed bacteria and produce odor. At the same time, apply a thin layer of vaseline or special protective oil on the surface of the faucet to form a protective film to prevent surface oxidation and corrosion. Before reusing the faucet, open the main water valve and rinse for a while to drain the impurities and dirt that may remain in the water pipe, and ensure that the water quality is clean before normal use.
