Is it better to choose stainless steel or cast copper for floor drain???

Floor drain. It can be said that it is widely used, and every household will be equipped with a floor drain to solve the bathroom.

or drainage problems in the restroom. Floor drain, in addition to drainage, also has the effect of anti-odor and anti-insects. There are also a variety of materials for floor drains on the market, mainly stainless steel floor drains, PVC floor drains and copper floor drains.

The more popular one is the copper floor drain. Many friends want to change a copper floor drain to their home, but they don't know much about copper floor drains, so let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of copper floor drains.

Is copper floor drain better or stainless steel?

In fact, for floor drains, each material is good, as long as it is suitable, there is no need to investigate whether the floor drain copper or stainless steel is better?

How to buy a floor drain?

1、cj/t186-2003 ?The standard is only applicable to floor drains used in general industrial and civil buildings, and is not applicable to special places such as wave-proof floor drains for civil air defense projects and explosion-proof floor drains for petrochemical enterprises. For floor drains in special places, in addition to referring to this standard, it should also meet the technical requirements of relevant industries.

2. Water seal is one of the important features of water seal floor drain. When selecting, you should know whether the water seal depth of the product reaches 50mm. Sidewall floor drains, floor drains with mesh frames, and closed floor drains generally do not have water seals; Most of the overflow-proof floor drains and multi-channel floor drains have water seals, and they should be specifically understood according to the manufacturer's information.

3. The height of the grate surface of the floor drain can be adjusted, and the adjustment height is not less than 35mm to ensure the ground decoration.

Finished drain surface elevation and ground.

Flat. The waterproof wing ring of the floor drain is to do a good job of the waterproof requirements when the floor drain is installed on the floor slab. Located in the underground garage.

The grate strength of the grate of the car passage or the place where the load is borne should be able to meet the corresponding load.

4. The structure of the floor drain with water seal should be reasonable and smooth, and the debris in the drainage is not easy to precipitate; The cross-sectional area of each part should be greater than the cross-sectional area of the discharge pipe, and the small net width of the cross-section of the runner should not be less than 10mm.

5. There are three types of floor drain connections: socket; Screw thread; Clamps. The size of the connection port can be determined according to the relevant provisions of the current state.

6. Odor-proof floor drains should be preferred, and floor drains can not be set up where drainage is not needed. The builder shall not complete the construction without setting up a backwater inlet.

After reading some of the above introductions to copper floor drains, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of copper floor drains. When you buy a copper floor drain, you can choose the right size floor drain according to the size of the drainage outlet in your home. Also, try to go to a larger store.

Buy, don't think it's buying a floor drain and don't pay attention to it. The products sold in regular stores are generally of special specifications and sizes, and the after-sales attitude is also relatively good. Finally, I hope that you can buy a suitable one for yourself when you buy a floor drain.

Or is it better to choose stainless steel, cast copper? Hehe, the current castings are uneven, and it is not good not to be made into other alloy castings.

Choose a big brand, there are many floor drain brands on the market now, the appearance is the same, you can't understand it if you are not a connoisseur, and it is pure copper to your dissection, will you see what you bought? It's all a deception...

Generally, stainless steel is fine, as for cast copper, it should be more expensive, and it should also be suitable for the tone of the room.

Hehe, just buy a brand, buy a brand floor drain, it's a lot cheaper.

The quality is very good, don't use alloys, it's easy to corrode.

You look for the "parking floor drain", the quality of the stainless steel deep water seal is very good.

Stainless steel is good, you can choose a diving brand floor drain, which is very good.

1.The service life of copper is relatively higher, copper can be put for two thousand years without rotting, but it is higher, stainless steel is fifty or sixty years old, but it is low. It is estimated that few can live for 2000 years, and the right to use our house is 70 years, so in terms of practical performance, stainless steel is more cost-effective.

2.Copper products will have different colors on the surface through electroplating, and stainless steel products are generally not easy to treat, so generally speaking, there are fewer colors. However, no matter what kind of electroplating, there will be deplating after a few years (the current best electroplating product is the car wheel, which will be corroded), especially for the floor drain soaked in water all day long, it is easier to deplate, although it does not affect the use, the aesthetics will definitely be reduced.

On the whole, stainless steel is the most cost-effective, and copper is of a higher grade.

The material of floor drain is divided into many kinds, such as ceramic material, which is cheap, corrosion-resistant but not impact-resistant, and easy to damage; Stainless steel, its moderate, beautiful style, no rust, durable; Cast iron material, which is cheap, low production cost, easy to rust, unsightly, not easy to clean, many old houses use this material floor drain; Copper material, its **moderate, rusty, more practical; PVC material, which is cheap, but it is easy to be deformed due to temperature and easy to scratch and damage.

When buying a floor drain, should you choose stainless steel or copper? What's the difference? In terms of product quality, the stainless steel floor drain is more reliable.

The main thing here is the material of the stainless steel floor drain and the copper floor drain itself. Now, let's buy a brand of stainless steel floor drain. If SUS304 is printed on it, it is a stainless steel floor drain that fully meets the requirements.

But if we buy a copper floor drain and find that the surface is brass, then we can't tell the difference between good and bad copper. In addition, there is no way to distinguish whether the surface is copper-plated or pure copper. Therefore, the quality of stainless steel floor drain on the market is more reliable than that of copper floor drain.

The corrosion resistance of stainless steel floor drains is far better than that of copper floor drains. Many friends may say that copper floor drains do not rust, but this is not particularly accurate. Because the potatoes in the copper field will rust after a long time, but it is not rusty.

But if you buy a 304 stainless steel floor drain that meets the requirements, it can be said that it will hardly rust. This can be explained that the stainless steel floor drain is still very new after a few years, but the surface of the copper floor drain feels particularly dirty. But in fact, this does not have a particularly large impact on the degree of use.

There are three types of floor drains on the market: stainless steel floor drains, PVC floor drains, and copper floor drains. Since the floor drain is buried in the ground, it is required to be well sealed and cannot be replaced frequently.

The stainless steel floor drain has a beautiful appearance, and it was quite popular in the past few years. However, due to the high cost and thin coating, it is difficult to escape the fate of rust after a few years. Everyone thinks that stainless steel is stainless steel, but it is actually a misunderstanding.

Stainless steel is also divided into different grades, and there are several kinds of workmanship. PVC floor drain is cheap and has a good anti-odor effect, but the material is too brittle, easy to age, and the temperature is low in winter, so the replacement time will be relatively long. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy the most commonly used all-copper chrome-plated floor drain on the market.

Its coating is thick and easy to clean even if it rusts over time. Generally speaking, all-copper floor drains can be used for at least six years.

The stainless steel floor drain is moderate, beautiful, and very practical and durable to use. Compared to brass, it is more suitable for the working class. Therefore, the use of stainless steel floor drain is comprehensive. Of course, the specific situation also needs to be determined in combination with the needs of installing floor drains at home.

Stainless steel.

Reason - high strength, high plasticity, high toughness, indestructible, and will not rust, oxidize and discolor (real stainless steel. Counterfeit and shoddy ones do not count). Copper, some grades are also good, but copper is very expensive, the density is a little greater than stainless steel, in this case, the manufacturing cost is very high.

In order to save material costs, most manufacturers tend to use the cheapest H59 and other grades of manufacturing, the strength is worse than stainless steel, the material is brittle (H59 will break when stressed, but it is not easy to bend), the corrosion resistance is poor, and it will oxidize in the air, not to mention the environment of floor drainage. Some manufacturers will use steel to pass off as copper through electroplating, which has worse corrosion resistance.

Copper alloys with high copper content will have improved corrosion resistance, but the strength will be weakened and the plasticity will increase. And **skyrocketed.

304 stainless steel is about 20 yuan per kilogram, and the cheapest H59 brass is more than 40 yuan per kilogram, like standard bronze, which is more than 70 yuan per kilogram - the current **.

Home improvement products such as floor drains, there are countless counterfeit and shoddy products. Like the so-called 304 stainless steel, a considerable part of it is passed off from steel or other cheap materials through electrochrome plating or even electrogalvanizing. Conscientious companies will pass off 201 stainless steel - 201 has relatively poor corrosion resistance, but it is indeed considered stainless steel, and even if it rusts, it is generally not serious.

There aren't too many people who actually use 304 materials. Ordinary consumers have no concept of metal materials at all and are easy to be fooled. For simple identification, you can bring a magnet, generally 304 stainless steel can not be attracted by magnets.

The other 304 has a slightly greater density than steel.

The performance of stainless steel and copper is the same, there is no obvious difference, the service life of copper will be relatively higher, and it will not rot if it can be put for 2000 years, but it is very high, and the general stainless steel is fifty or sixty years old** is slightly lower, but the general right to use the house is about 70 years, so in terms of practical performance, stainless steel will be more cost-effective.

Floor drains should be better copper, why? Here I analyzed it and listened to it, and I looked at it carefully. First of all, the floor drain is buried below the ground and needs to be sealed, so it cannot be replaced often

The copper floor drain coating is thick, and even if the patina is born for a long time, it is easier to clean; The appearance of stainless steel floor drain is beautiful, but according to relevant professionals, stainless steel has a high cost and thin plating, so it will not be able to avoid rust after a few years. However, the all-copper floor drain will be much higher than that of stainless steel, and most owners will buy stainless steel floor drains in order to save money.
