Is it easy for the faucet to break when pulled?

In modern home design, faucets are an important component of kitchens and bathrooms, and their functionality and aesthetics directly affect the user experience. Pulling faucet (pull-out faucet) is gradually favored by consumers due to its flexible nozzle design and multifunctionality. According to statistics from the Architectural Decoration Association, the scale of China's faucet market has exceeded 50 billion yuan in 2023, with the market share of pull-out faucets increasing year by year and expected to reach over 20% by 2025. However, consumers often express concerns about the durability of pull-out faucets when choosing them: are pull-out faucets easily damaged? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

Structure and Working Principle of Pulling Faucet

Pulling faucet is a faucet design that integrates a retractable hose and a multifunctional nozzle. Users can freely move and adjust the angle of water flow by pulling the nozzle. Its core components include:

1. Main valve body: usually made of brass or stainless steel, responsible for controlling the water flow switch and temperature regulation.

2. Pulling hose: Generally, nylon braided or stainless steel braided hoses are used to connect the nozzle and valve body, with good flexibility and pressure resistance.

3. Sprinkler head: built-in multiple water outlet modes (such as spray and columnar flow), and some high-end models are also equipped with magnetic suction homing function.

4. Weighting device: located below the hose, it helps the nozzle automatically retract to its original position.

5. Ceramic valve core: the core component that controls water flow and temperature, affecting the sealing and durability of the faucet.

The unique feature of the pull-out faucet lies in the mobility of its hose and nozzle, making it suitable for scenarios that require large-scale cleaning, such as kitchen sinks or multifunctional washbasins. This design originates from European and American kitchen culture, and its popularity in the domestic market has significantly increased in recent years, especially in high-end residential and apartment buildings.
