The main material and technology of the faucet

Stainless steel and brass are the most common and high-quality faucet body materials

We often hear the saying that "brass material contains more lead, and stainless steel material is excellent". 

In fact, this is wrong, because the way of comparison is wrong.

First of all, we must understand that there is no pure copper faucet! 

Because pure copper refers to copper with a purity of more than 99.5%, it is soft metal that is not easy to cut, and it is impossible to use pure copper to make a faucet.

Therefore, in order to improve the machinability of brass, lead will be added during the production process. 

But don't be afraid, high-quality brass faucets will wash the lead at the end, so that the lead content is minimal.

In addition, net lead and low lead only represent the content of lead. What really matters is the amount of lead precipitation, which is related to our drinking water safety. 

The national standard has strict standards for the amount of lead precipitation, that is, the precipitation of basins and kitchen faucets should not exceed 5μg/L, so the faucets in this range are safe.
