Today, a faucet is more than just a part of the sink. Faucets can be a functional and visual upgrade to the sink and the entire kitchen. But what do you need to consider when choosing a faucet?
Adaptation to local conditions
First of all, the choice of kitchen faucet is not only in the design, it is important that Figure out the following issues beforehand.
- Water connections
- Type of connection
High or low pressure?
If your apartment or house has a central hot water supply or instantaneous water heater to which the fittings can be connected directly, then you will need a high-pressure fitting with two connections (hot and cold).
Tip: High-pressure connectors are the general standard.
However, if your water connection is made through a boiler or storage tank, then a low-pressure fitting is essential. This is still the case today, especially in older buildings. This low-pressure connection has three connections and a shut-off valve. Cold water is led to the boiler and heated when hot water is needed.
