When choosing a kitchen faucet, the material and quality of the valve are critical considerations. As the heart of the faucet, the valve controls water flow and determines the durability and performance of the entire system. At BORNIC, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality brass valves, and we firmly believe brass is the superior choice for kitchen faucets. In this article, we’ll explore why brass valves outperform other metal alternatives and how BORNIC ensures top-notch quality in every product.
What Are Brass Valves?
Brass valves are made from an alloy of copper and zinc, often with additional elements like tin or lead (in negligible amounts for drinking water applications). This alloy is renowned for its strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability, making it ideal for faucets and other plumbing components.
Why Brass Valves Are Better Than Other Metals
- Durability and Longevity
Brass is an exceptionally durable material, capable of withstanding high water pressure and frequent use without deformation. Unlike softer metals like aluminum, brass valves maintain their structural integrity over time, ensuring a long service life. - Corrosion Resistance
Kitchen faucets are exposed to moisture and minerals that can cause corrosion. Brass is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, even in hard water conditions, making it a reliable choice for maintaining water quality and system integrity. - Safety and Non-Toxicity
Lead-free brass, which complies with modern drinking water standards (e.g., NSF/ANSI 61), ensures that water remains safe for consumption. Other metals, such as cheaper alloys, may leach harmful substances into water over time. - Thermal Resistance
Brass performs exceptionally well under high temperatures, making it ideal for kitchen faucets that handle both hot and cold water. Other metals, such as plastic or aluminum, may warp or degrade under prolonged exposure to heat. - Smooth Operation
Brass valves provide smoother operation compared to other materials. The precision machining of brass ensures tight seals and minimal wear, resulting in a drip-free and reliable faucet. - Aesthetic Appeal
Brass has a natural, polished appearance that enhances the look of kitchen faucets. It also pairs well with various finishes, including chrome, nickel, and matte black, making it a versatile option for modern kitchens.
