Types of Faucet Valve Cores: Which One Is Right for You

In people's daily lives, the valve core of a faucet directly affects water usage. So, how many types of faucet valve cores are there? Let’s take a look!

Types of Faucet Valve Cores

Common types of valve cores include spherical and butterfly valves, among others. Each type has different usage effects. For household use, spherical valve cores are more commonly chosen. The standard valve core specifications include 25mm, 35mm, and 40mm. For home use, a 40mm valve core can generally meet daily needs.

How to Choose a Faucet

1. Test the Valve Core

The valve core is the most critical component of a faucet. It is responsible for the durability and functionality of the faucet, allowing it to withstand daily use with frequent opening and closing. There are several types of valve cores, such as stainless steel, ceramic disc, and cartridge valves, with ceramic valve cores being the most commonly used. When purchasing a faucet, the material of the valve core is usually not visible. Therefore, you can judge its quality based on the feel of the handle when opening and closing it. If it feels too loose or too tight, it's best not to buy it. A smooth and flexible feel indicates a good quality faucet.

2. Product "ID"

When purchasing, make sure to carefully check the product’s certification, especially for imported faucets. Generally, domestic faucets have the necessary certification and clearly indicate the place of origin and the manufacturer's address. If this information is not clearly provided, it is likely an inferior product.

Additionally, try to choose brands that offer after-sales service. Typically, faucets from brands that do not provide after-sales support tend to have a shorter lifespan, so selecting a brand with a solid guarantee will give you peace of mind when making a purchase.
