Q: Why use a deck plate in faucet installation?
A: The deck plate covers extra holes in the basin, allowing for the installation of a single-hole faucet in situations where the basin has 2 or 3 holes.
Q: What causes faucet leaks and how to fix them?
A: Faucet leaks are commonly associated with valve core issues, but proper usage can prevent damage. When facing a leak, it's essential to diagnose the root cause:
- Persistent water flow after closing the valve core may indicate a loose cap. Tighten the cap or check the rubber ring at the base of the valve core for deformation.
- Leakage around the valve core suggests loosening or displacement, requiring core reinstallation.
- Central seepage from the valve core indicates damage, necessitating core replacement.
- Bottom faucet leakage often results from improperly installed or deformed O-rings on the water inlet pipe. Detach the hose, inspect the O-ring, and reassemble or replace if necessary.
Q: Are sensor faucets only single-temperature?
A: No, sensor faucets are available in both single-temperature and dual-temperature (hot and cold) variants, allowing users to adjust water temperature as needed.
Q: What are the flow rate requirements for different faucets?
A:
- Bathtub faucets (without accessories) should maintain a flow rate of at least 0.33 L/s under a dynamic pressure of 0.3-0.02 MPa.
- Basin, washing, and other faucets (without accessories) should achieve a flow rate of at least 0.20 L/s under a dynamic pressure of 0.1-0.01 MPa.
- Basin, washing, and kitchen faucets (with accessories) must not exceed a flow rate of 0.15 L/s under a dynamic pressure of 0.1-0.01 MPa.
Q: What is the installation hole spacing for exposed shower faucets?
A: The standardized installation hole spacing is 15CM, supplemented by curved feet, suitable for distances ranging from 12-18cm.
Q: What is considered normal water pressure for faucets?
A: Normal faucet water pressure ranges from 0.3-0.5 MPa. Excessive pressure can cause discomfort and potential issues within the faucet mechanism.
