What should you know before buying a kitchen faucet?

As one of the necessary equipment in your kitchen, you had better choose a suitable kitchen faucet to make you more efficient and reduce unnecessary expenses.

Here are some points you should know before choosing a kitchen faucet.

1.Mounting hole

If you just want to replace the faucet and not the whole sink, you should know the number of mounting holes in the sink and how many mounting holes the faucet will need. The mounting hole for the kitchen sink is used to mount the faucet and other accessories (such as a soap dispenser or cup washer).

You should choose the fitting and the type of faucet according to the number of holes in your sink, so as not to install your fittings without extra holes after installing the faucet.

2.Installtion：deck/wall

Some type of kitchen faucets are deck-mounted, while others are wall-mounted. If the faucet is deck-mounted, you should note the size of the mounting hole. If the faucet is wall-mounted, you should pay attention to the thickness of the wall, because too thin wall will cause the valve core can not be embedded.

3.Number of handles

Single-handle faucets operate a lever to adjust the temperature, moving it left and right to draw hot or cold water. This simple design makes it the first choice for many families. Dual handle faucets provide precise temperature control through different temperature handles.

In addition, many faucets have sensors that turn them on and off quickly without the need to twist the handle.

The above briefly describes some points to know before the purchase of kitchen faucets, it is best to choose your own faucets according to your needs and preferences.
