Pull Down Spray Tap is a pull-down faucet for kitchen sinks, usually made of brass or stainless steel with chrome-plated surface, which is both beautiful and practical. Its design features a retractable spray head, which is connected to the main body through a flexible hose and can be easily pulled out for multi-angle flushing, suitable for cleaning sinks, tableware, etc.
1. Material and durability
Pull Down Spray Tap is made of 304 stainless steel, with a wall thickness of 2.5mm and a pressure bearing capacity of 1.0MPa, far exceeding ordinary faucets. The thickness of the chrome plating layer on the surface is 8-10μm, which meets the ASTM B456-85 standard, has strong corrosion resistance, and the NSS test can reach 480 hours without red rust. The valve core is made of ceramic material, the sealing gap is controlled within 0.02mm, and there is no dripping after 300,000 switch tests, and the service life is up to 10-15 years.
2. Nozzle design
The nozzle part is equipped with a reinforced EPDM rubber sealing ring, and the telescopic track is made of food-grade 316 stainless steel, with a surface roughness Ra value of less than 0.4μm, and smooth telescoping. The nozzle can achieve 360° horizontal rotation and 120° vertical pitch adjustment, and the water flow rate can be adjusted within the range of 2.0-5.0L/min, which meets the US EPA WaterSense water-saving standards. The nozzle also supports two mode switching: the normal spray mode flow rate is 3.5-5.0L/min, and the shower spray mode flow rate is 2.0-3.0L/min.
3. Water saving and filtration
Built-in four-stage filtration system: the first-stage 120-mesh stainless steel filter intercepts impurities larger than 0.13mm; the second-stage KDF-55 copper-zinc alloy filter layer removes 98% of residual chlorine and heavy metals; the third-stage 5μm PP melt-blown filter element filters fine impurities; the fourth-stage activated carbon adsorption device reduces water hardness by 30%. The water saver can automatically adjust when the flow rate exceeds 4.0L/min, and the water saving efficiency reaches 20%.
4. Ergonomic handle
The handle has a curvature radius of 40mm, which is ergonomic. It can be turned on and off by applying a torque of 1.2N·m, which is 35% more labor-saving than ordinary faucets. The connection between the handle and the body is sealed with food-grade silicone, which can withstand more than 1,000 torque tests to ensure that it will not loosen during long-term use.
1. Home kitchen
In the home kitchen, Pull Down Spray Tap is a great helper for cleaning. Its pull-down spray head design allows users to easily rinse large containers, pots and pans, vegetables and fruits, etc. The flexible rotation and adjustable flow rate function of the spray head meet different cleaning needs, such as quick rinse or gentle shower, improve kitchen work efficiency, and provide convenience for home cooking.
2. Catering industry
In catering places such as restaurants and hotels, Pull Down Spray Tap can effectively cope with high-intensity cleaning tasks. Its durability and efficient cleaning performance ensure the rapid cleaning of tableware and kitchen equipment, reduce cleaning time, and improve work efficiency. The large flow mode of the spray head can quickly rinse Chinese cooking utensils with heavy oil pollution, meeting the use needs of commercial kitchens.
3. Laboratories and medical institutions
In laboratories and medical institutions, Pull Down Spray Tap provides clean water sources, which are suitable for cleaning laboratory instruments and medical equipment. Its filtration system can effectively remove impurities and microorganisms in the water, ensure the quality of the water, and ensure the accuracy of the experimental results and the sanitation and safety of the medical environment.
4. Ship and RV Refit
In ship kitchens or RV refits, the compact design and multi-function spray head function of the Pull Down Spray Tap are particularly suitable for limited spaces. Users can use the retractable spray head to easily complete a variety of cleaning tasks, improving the convenience of travel and sailing life.
1. Precautions for installation
When installing the Pull Down Spray Tap, be sure to turn off the water source and drain the residual water in the pipe to prevent water from accidentally flowing out during the installation process, causing damage or safety hazards. Use appropriate tools, such as raw tape, wrenches, etc., to correctly connect the pipes according to the instructions to avoid over-tightening and causing the interface to break. Make sure that the nozzle hose is not twisted, stretched or damaged. After installation, check whether the nozzle is retracted smoothly without jamming or excessive resistance. After the installation is completed, slowly turn on the water source and check whether there is any leakage at each connection. Use it after confirmation.
2. Precautions for use
When using, avoid over-stretching the nozzle hose. The stretching length should not exceed the design range to avoid damage to the hose or the nozzle falling off. When switching the water outlet mode, the action should be gentle to avoid excessive force that may cause damage to the internal parts. After use, the nozzle should be returned to its position and ensure that it is stable to prevent accidental collision or shaking that affects the service life. When using detergent to clean the sink or tableware, be careful to avoid detergent entering the nozzle or faucet to avoid corrosion or damage to the parts.
3. Precautions for cleaning and maintenance
When cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge, and avoid using rough or corrosive detergents to prevent scratching the surface of the faucet. When removing internal parts such as the filter, be careful to avoid damaging precision parts such as the seal ring and valve core. Check the wear of the nozzle and hose regularly. If you find cracks on the hose surface or serious blockage of the nozzle hole, the corresponding parts should be replaced in time. For faucets that have not been used for a long time, they should be thoroughly cleaned and checked before reusing them to see if all parts are functioning normally.
4. Precautions for special situations
When used in poor water quality or special environments (such as high hardness water and water sources with high sand content), the maintenance frequency of the filtration system should be increased, and the filter element should be replaced in time to prevent excessive impurities from affecting the normal use of the faucet. During thunderstorms or long power outages, it is recommended to turn off the faucet and drain the water in the pipe to avoid equipment damage caused by water pressure fluctuations or power outages. If the faucet makes abnormal noises, the water flow becomes smaller, or it cannot discharge water normally, it should be stopped immediately and inspected and repaired. Do not force it to use to avoid aggravating the degree of damage.
A Pull Down Spray Tap is a kitchen tap with a flexible hose that can be pulled out and extended, providing enhanced reach and maneuverability for various kitchen tasks.
The faucet is typically made from high-quality materials such as brass or stainless steel with a black finish, which is resistant to tarnishing and corrosion.
The pull-out hose offers increased flexibility and reach, making it easier to rinse dishes, clean the sink, fill large pots, and perform other kitchen tasks efficiently.
If the hose doesn’t retract properly, check for any obstructions or twists in the hose. Ensure the counterweight is properly positioned and secured. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for troubleshooting tips.
With proper care and maintenance, a high-quality Pull Down Spray Tap can last for many years. The lifespan depends on usage and maintenance practices.
