It is a brass faucet or valve with a nickel layer on the surface, usually used to control the switch of water flow.

(1). Corrosion resistance: Brass itself has good corrosion resistance. After nickel plating, it can resist oxidation and corrosion better, and extend the service life.
(2). Aesthetics: The nickel layer presents a silvery-white luster, making the faucet look brighter and improving the overall decoration effect.
(3). Wear resistance: The nickel plating can effectively resist wear and tear during daily use and cleaning, and maintain the smoothness of the faucet surface.
(4). Easy to clean: The nickel layer is not easy to be stained with fingerprints and stains, which is convenient for daily cleaning and maintenance.

Preparation:
Make sure the installation environment is dry and clean, and prepare the required installation tools and materials, such as wrenches, raw tape, etc.
Turn off the water source: Before installation, be sure to turn off the relevant water source to prevent water flow from causing installation difficulties or damage.
Installation process:
Wrap the raw tape around the connection thread to increase the sealing.
Align the Nickel-Plated Brass Bibcock to the installation position, rotate and tighten, and ensure that the connection is tight and leak-free.
Install the handle or other control components as needed.
Inspection and testing:
After installation, turn on the water source to check for leaks, and adjust the direction and size of the water flow to a satisfactory state.

Regular cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to wipe the faucet surface, and avoid using rough cleaning tools or strong corrosive detergents.
Avoid scratches: Avoid using hard objects to scratch the faucet surface during cleaning and use, especially the nickel plating.
Check the sealing: Regularly check whether the connection parts are loose or leaking. If there is a problem, tighten or replace the seal in time.
Prevent freezing: When used in cold areas, make sure there is no water inside the faucet to prevent freezing damage.

Household water systems: faucets, showers, bathtub faucets, etc. in kitchens and bathrooms.
Commercial places: sinks, showers, and other areas in public places such as hotels, restaurants, and hospitals.
Industrial environment: In industrial water systems that require water flow control and have certain requirements for corrosion resistance, such as cooling water circulation, cleaning equipment, etc.
