The hose is an important accessories for the faucet. If the quality is poor, it will bring troubles such as tube burst and water leakage.
- 1) Inner tube material: EPX material directly meets international drinking water standards, can withstand high temperature, explosion-proof, and pressure resistance, and is non-toxic and tasteless, with a service life of up to 30 years. It is safer and more reliable than PVC and ordinary rubber on the market. PVC is not resistant to high temperatures, and it releases toxic substances at high temperatures, so it is only suitable for cold water pipes. Ordinary rubber are often poor in high-temperature resistance and contain various toxic substances, and are prone to aging and have a short service life.

- 3) The nut material: the high-quality faucet uses copper and 304 stainless steel. Sturdy and durable, not easy to corrode. The thicker the nut, the better the strength.
- 4)The material of the joint: the joint includes a covering and an inner core. The strength of the joint depends on the strength of the covering and core. The core material is preferably copper or stainless steel, which is durable and not easy to corrode. The thicker covering and the core, the better the quality.
