With the development of economy and science, the modern faucet has been developed with various kinds of faucet, such as cast iron, plastic, copper, alloy, ceramic and stainless steel. Among them cast iron bibcock has been gradually eliminated, and the whole plastic bibcock is used in special domain most, the bibcock that is most commonly contacted in household now mainly has whole copper, alloy, pottery and porcelain, stainless steel bibcock. The alloy faucet has been getting out of sight because of its bad health. Ceramic and stainless steel faucet, although each has advantages, but the general price is high, processing difficulty, so the product type and the quantity are less. The whole copper bibcock with its outstanding cost performance to occupy the dominant position of the market of bibcock material.

　　One, all brass faucet.

　　Pure copper faucet is made of whole copper, with chrome finish, high gloss and high anti-wear resistance. The quality is distinguished mainly by its copper content and process. The copper material used in the heating industry is 59 copper. In addition to copper, there are other metals, which can be bad for your health if you have too much lead. In this case, some manufacturers have developed low-lead faucets and their lead content is less than 0.3 percent. It's hard to judge given the levels of general consumers, and for piping products on the international lead content has strict rules, so for the sake of his health consideration of best choose and buy has passed the certification of the faucet. (TIP: when you wake up in the morning, turn on the tap for half a minute, drain the water and avoid excessive amounts of lead.)

　　2. Alloy faucet.

　　The price of the alloy faucet is much lower than that of the whole copper faucet, and it is easier to produce on a large scale. A large number of these are zinc alloys, which are harmful to the human body and are not durable. At present zinc alloy can be used to make the handle of faucet, and some wei yu hardware pendant. Because the zinc alloy plating process is very mature, and some manufacturers will specially increase the weight of the zinc alloy faucet, it is difficult to distinguish it from the whole copper faucet by weight and appearance. For your health, it is still recommended to purchase the faucet that has passed the relevant certification and evaluation organization.

　　Ceramic faucet.

　　Ceramic faucet is as its name is the bibcock of pottery and porcelain. Compared with other faucet, ceramic faucet has the advantage of not rusting, oxidation and not easy to wear. Ceramic faucet appearance is beautiful and generous, because the shell is also ceramic product, so can match with the product of wei yu more, add the artistic feeling of ceramics, foil the high-grade temperament that defend bath.

　　Iv. Stainless steel faucet.

　　Stainless steel faucet does not contain lead, and acid, alkali resistant, non-corrosive, do not release harmful substances, do not pollute water source. We have learned, at present more than 304 stainless steel faucet surface does not need to electroplating, its surface only need polishing can be appeared stainless steel color, and keep the silver luster, never rust, sustainable stainless steel hardness and toughness are more than 2 times higher than copper. However, the hardness, toughness, casting and cutting of stainless steel are much more difficult and expensive than copper.
