1. By material, it can be divided into SUS304 stainless steel, cast iron, all plastic, brass, zinc alloy material faucets, polymer composite material faucets, and other categories.

2. By function, it can be divided into washbasins, bathtubs, showers, kitchen sink faucets, and electric faucets (porcelain electric faucets). With the improvement of living standards, faucets that can quickly heat (porcelain electric faucets) are increasingly popular among consumers and are expected to become the new protagonists leading the faucet revolution.
3. According to structure, it can be further divided into several types of faucets, including single connection, double connection, and triple connection. In addition, there is a distinction between single handle and dual handle. Single connection type can be connected to cold or hot water pipes; The dual connection type can be connected to both hot and cold pipes at the same time, and is often used as a faucet for bathroom basins and kitchen sink with hot water supply; In addition to connecting two cold and hot water pipes, the triple type can also be connected to a shower nozzle, mainly used for faucets in bathtubs. A single handle faucet can adjust the temperature of cold and hot water through one handle, while a two handed handle needs to adjust the cold and hot water pipes separately to adjust the water temperature.
4. According to the opening method, it can be divided into spiral type, wrench type, lifting type, and induction type. When the spiral handle is opened, it needs to rotate many turns; The wrench handle generally only needs to be rotated 90 degrees; The lifting handle only needs to be lifted upwards to release water; The sensing faucet will automatically discharge water as long as the handle is extended under the faucet. In addition, there is a type of delayed shut-off faucet. After turning off the switch, the water will flow for a few more seconds before stopping, so that the dirty things on your hands can be washed clean again when turning off the faucet.
5. According to the valve core, it can be divided into several types: rubber core (slow opening valve core), ceramic core (fast opening valve core), and stainless steel core. The most critical factor affecting the quality of faucets is the valve core. The faucets that use rubber cores are mostly cast iron faucets with spiral opening, which have been basically eliminated; Ceramic valve core faucets have emerged in recent years with good quality and are relatively common; Stainless steel valve core is more suitable for areas with poor water quality.
