Identification method of 304 stainless steel faucet
SUS304 stainless steel faucet have a beautiful appearance. When purchasing, you can feel no burrs, pores, spots, etc. by hand. Secondly, gently turn the handle of the faucet to see if it is light and flexible, and whether there is a sense of blockage.
There are a lot of products on the market, the technical coefficient is not up to the standard, and their prices are actually 3-4 times different. Therefore, the difference in price when purchasing often reflects the difference in quality. At the same time, carefully check the parts of the faucet, focusing on whether the parts are complete and whether the main parts are assembled tightly without looseness.
The next step is to inspect the material, the material of the faucet is not easy to distinguish. The real SUS304 stainless steel faucet body can only be precision-cast and welded. The precision-cast body is resistant to high pressure and has a smooth and natural appearance after polishing and drawing. The price is slightly higher; the welding interface is more rigid, and the smoothness after polishing and drawing is slightly worse. This is just a visual inspection. Generally speaking, 201, 202 stainless steel faucets and 304 stainless steel faucets cannot be distinguished only by appearance.
The high credibility of companies and businesses when consumers buy is also the key to ensuring product quality. A safer approach is to contact the manufacturer's dealer or directly contact the manufacturer of the stainless steel faucet.

Never use any abrasive cleaners, cloth or paper cloth; never use any acid-containing cleaners, polishing abrasives or rough cleaners.
