1. Thickness of the water tank steel plate: The high-quality water tank adopts imported 304 stainless steel steel plate with a thickness of 1mm, while the ordinary low-grade water tank adopts 0.5mm-0.7mm. The identification method can distinguish between the weight and the surface.
  2. Anti-noise treatment: The bottom of the high-quality water tank is sprayed or glued to the rubber sheet and does not fall off, which can reduce the sound of the faucet water from the impact of the pelvic floor and play a buffering role.
  3. Surface treatment: The surface of the high-quality water tank is flat, the visual gloss is soft, it is not easy to stick to oil, easy to clean and wear-resistant.
  4. Inner corner treatment: The inner corner of the high-quality water tank is close to 90 degrees, the inside of the water tank is more visual, and the volume of the basin is larger.
  5. Matching parts: The high quality falling head requires wall thickness, smooth processing, no leakage when the cage is closed, and the beads are durable and comfortable to handle. The downpipe is required to be made of environmentally friendly disposable materials, and has the functions of easy installation, deodorization, heat resistance, aging resistance, etc., and is durable.
  6. Sink forming process: The one-piece forming technology solves the leakage problem caused by the corrosion of the chemical seams (such as detergents, stainless steel cleaners, etc.) caused by the welding of the pots.

The one-piece molding process is a particularly important process and requires a high degree of material for the steel sheet. What kind of process is used is an obvious manifestation of the quality of the sink.

The rest of the quality requirements:
First, the appearance quality
(1) The welding should be straight and the surface texture should be uniform after polishing. There should be no obvious scratches, hammer marks and burn marks.
(2) The welding parts of the water tank should be firm, the welding lines are uniform, and defects such as incomplete penetration and cracking are not allowed. The exposed welds should be polished or decolored.
(3) The edge of the sink should be smooth and no sharp corners or burrs are allowed.


Second, the drainage mechanism
(1) When the drain filter is in the state of sealed water, the leakage amount shall not exceed 1% after 2 hours of filling with water.
(2) sink drain pipe thickness
a) The wall thickness of the drain pipe should not be lower than the following requirements:
The trap pipe assembly is 1.57 mm; the drain pipe body (except the trap) is 1.62 mm.
b) The drain body made of brass or stainless steel is 0.56 mm. The other is 0.38mm.
(3) The water seal height of the trap should not be less than 50mm.
(4) The drainage mechanism and the tank body should be tight and there should be no leakage. When the hot water is discharged, the hose will not be displaced from the joint.
(5) The drainage mechanism shall be able to drain the water from the full tank within 2 minutes, and there shall be no flaky residual water at the bottom.
(6) There should be no cracks and no leakage after the aging performance test of the drain pipe.


Third, carrying capacity
(1) The bottom of the tank should be able to withstand a concentrated load of 100kg, and its deformation should be less than 3mm.
(2) After the tank is subjected to 100kg load, there shall be no abnormal phenomena such as sinking, cracking and desoldering.


Fourth, the silencer pad
(1) The sound-absorbing pad must be firmly attached and flat, and the noise can be significantly reduced when used in water.
(2) The use of adhesives shall comply with HJ/T 220-2005 "Technical Requirements for Environmental Labeling Products"


Five, anti-reverse coating
(1) Effectively prevent back condensation and dripping.
(2) The coating should be firm and uniform, and no defects such as flow marks, exposed bottom, wrinkles and falling off are allowed.
(3) Coatings shall not artificially add substances harmful to human body such as phthalates, halogenated hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene.

Six, accessories requirements
Accessories for spouts, hardware, plastic parts, wood products, etc. must meet the technical requirements of the corresponding national standards and environmental labeling products.
