Wall Mounted Single Hole Basin Faucet

Single Hole basin faucet is a water supply device used to be installed in the bathroom or kitchen. It is fixed to the wall through a single mounting hole, integrating water flow control and guidance functions, and can introduce cold water and flow out from a specific outlet after operation, facilitating daily washing of hands and face, and is a common and practical hardware accessory in the bathroom space.

Single Hole Basin Faucet Parameters：

Single Hole Basin Faucet Features：

1. In terms of materials: The main body of the Single Hole Basin Faucet is mostly made of brass, and the brass content is usually around 85% - 95%. This material has good corrosion resistance, can maintain its own structural stability in a long-term water environment, and is not easy to rust and damage; the handle part is generally made of zinc alloy, which has a relatively high hardness and can withstand frequent daily operation and is durable. Under normal use, it can withstand more than 5,000 rotation operations without obvious deformation or damage.

   
   

2. Installation method: It adopts a single-hole installation design, and the diameter of the installation hole is generally between 35mm and 45mm. The installation process is relatively simple. You only need to pre-drill a hole of the corresponding size on the wall, and then embed the faucet body and fix it with the matching mounting parts. Generally, skilled workers can complete the installation within 30 minutes, saving installation time and labor costs.

   
   

3. Flow control: The internal flow regulating device can accurately control the water flow. Under the common household water pressure of 0.1MPa - 0.3MPa, the flow rate can be adjusted between 3 liters and 8 liters per minute by operating the handle, which can not only meet the normal use needs, but also avoid excessive water flow and waste of water resources.

   
   

4. Water leakage prevention performance: High-quality single-hole basin faucets have significant water leakage prevention effects with the cooperation of sealing components such as valve cores. The sealing gap between the valve core and the valve seat can be controlled within 0.01mm - 0.03mm. Under normal use conditions, it can ensure long-term no water leakage, effectively preventing water waste and surrounding humidity caused by water leakage.

   
   

5. Appearance design: The overall shape is simple and smooth, with simple lines. The curvature of the lines usually varies between 10° and 30°. The surface is finely polished, and the smoothness can reach 85% to 95%, presenting a mirror-like effect. It fits in with modern, simple, Nordic and other styles of bathroom spaces, and can enhance the overall visual aesthetics.

   
   

6. Water flow form: The water outlet is reasonably designed, and the water flows out in a columnar shape. The water outlet diameter is generally around 10mm to 15mm. When the water pressure is normal, the water flow falls accurately, with a deviation of no more than 3cm. It can accurately guide the water flow into the basin, which is convenient for users to use and not easy to splash water outside the basin.

It can cope with the use of dozens of people every day.

Single Hole Basin Faucet Maintenance:

• Daily cleaning: After daily use, wipe the faucet surface with a soft dry cloth or slightly damp cotton cloth, which can effectively remove water stains, fingerprints and other stains on the surface, keeping it bright and new. For stubborn stains, you can use a neutral detergent, dilute the detergent with water in a ratio of 1:10, wipe it gently with a soft cloth, then rinse it with clean water and wipe it dry, so as to avoid corrosion of the faucet surface caused by the detergent residue. Each cleaning time should be controlled within 5-10 minutes.

  
  

• Regular descaling: In areas with hard water, scale is easy to form inside the faucet, and descaling is generally performed once every 1-2 months. You can use white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio to make a descaling liquid, soak the outlet of the faucet in the descaling liquid for about 30 minutes, and wipe the parts that cannot be soaked with a soft cloth dipped in the descaling liquid, and then rinse it with clean water. This can effectively remove scale and restore the smooth flow of water. Each descaling operation takes about 40-60 minutes.

  
  

• Seal inspection: Check the seal inside the faucet every 3-6 months, and focus on checking whether the valve core, O-ring and other parts are worn or aged. If the seal is found to be slightly worn, you can use a professional seal lubricant and apply it according to the product instructions. Generally, the amount applied is 0.5-1 grams per place, which can extend the service life of the seal; if the seal is seriously damaged, it needs to be replaced in time. The replacement process generally takes 20-30 minutes to ensure the water-proof performance of the faucet.

  
  

• Rotating parts lubrication: For rotating parts such as faucet handles, lubrication maintenance is performed every 6-12 months. Use food-grade lubricating oil, take an appropriate amount (about 0.3-0.5 grams) and apply it to key parts such as the rotating shaft, and then rotate the handle repeatedly 10-15 times to evenly distribute the lubricating oil, so that the handle can rotate more smoothly and reduce resistance during operation. Each lubrication operation takes about 10-15 minutes.

  
  

• Winter antifreeze: In the cold winter, when the temperature is below 0℃ and water is not used for a long time, antifreeze measures should be taken. You can first close the water valve, open the faucet to drain the residual water inside, and then wrap the faucet body and the connecting water pipe with insulation materials such as foam plastics, etc., and keep the thickness at about 3-5 cm. This can effectively prevent the faucet from breaking and being damaged due to freezing. The entire antifreeze operation process takes about 15-20 minutes.

  
  

• Regularly check the connection: Check the connection between the faucet and the water pipe and the screws and other fixings at the installation site once a month. Check whether there are signs of looseness or water leakage at the connection. If the screws are found to be loose, tighten them with a suitable wrench. The tightening torque is controlled at about 10-15 Nm to ensure that the faucet is firmly installed and the connection is well sealed. Each inspection and simple maintenance operation takes about 5-10 minutes.
