Why is the faucet switch always designed to open counterclockwise and close clockwise?

Because most people are right-handed, it will be more labor-saving to reach out and drive to the right. During transportation, installation and use, the switch is parallel to the faucet. If it is closed at a 90-degree angle, it will occupy volume and be easily damaged. Therefore, this design, like most spiral designs, is both loose and tight, which is also people's habit.

According to the opening mode, it can be divided into screw type, wrench type, lifting type and induction type. When the screw handle is opened, it should be rotated several times; Generally, the wrench handle only needs to be rotated 90 degrees; Just lift the handle to get out of the water.

As long as the induction faucet reaches under the faucet, it will automatically come out. In addition, there is a faucet with delayed closing. After turning off the switch, the water will stop flowing for a few seconds, so that you can wash the dirty things on your hands when you turn off the faucet.

Extended data

The faucets that have been used for a long time sometimes have the phenomena of incomplete closure, water leakage, loose handle, loose joint and water leakage, and under normal circumstances, consumers can solve them themselves.

Precautions for cleaning faucets:

(1) Don't wipe the faucet surface with hard objects such as steel balls, because the steel balls are hard and easy to scratch the faucet surface.

(2) It is best to clean the faucet with a neutral cleaning agent, and the cleaning agent with strong acidity and alkalinity is not suitable for cleaning the faucet.

(3) After cleaning the faucet, dry the residual water on the surface with a dry lint-free towel (the same is true for cleaning the glass) to avoid scale.
