Where the angle valve is applicable:
Խոհանոց: Sink faucet (installed on the countertop), referred to as Taiwan water outlet (2 angle valves) Dishwasher water outlet

Triangle valve purchase skills:
First look at the material. It is best that the copper material is heavier, and the excellent material greatly extends the service life of the product; although the zinc alloy on the market is relatively cheap, it is easy to break after a year, and the maintenance is uncomfortable.
Հաջորդը, look at the spool. Ընդհանրապես, ceramic valve cores are used. The core of the valve core is the heart of the product. It is firmly closed and the life span depends on it, especially the sealing ring and ceramic disc inside. But generally we don’t see it, so we have to try the feel. The feel is too heavy, the switch is uncomfortable, the feel is too light, it will leak after a long time, and the soft feel has a longer life.
Finally, look at the plating gloss. Pay attention to the gloss, whether the product is blistered or scratched, the surface of a good product is smooth and shiny, and the hand is smooth and flawless. Ի հավելումն, the salt spray test of angle valves on the market can not meet the requirements of GB18145-2003, not to mention that this is just a thing for toilets, and few people pay attention to it.
