Split Basin Faucet is a bathroom product that separates the water outlet and valve body of the faucet. Compared with the traditional single faucet (i.e. the water outlet and valve body are integrated), the split design has unique advantages in function, installation, user experience and aesthetics.
1. Flexible installation and space utilization
The split design is suitable for more scenarios
The water outlet and valve body of the split faucet can be installed independently, especially suitable for the following situations:
Countertop thickness limit: When the countertop is thick (such as marble, quartz, etc.), the traditional faucet may not be installed due to the long valve body, while the valve body of the split faucet can be hidden under the countertop, and the water outlet is fixed on the countertop separately to avoid conflict.
Special-shaped basin or embedded design: For irregular-shaped basins or embedded countertops, the split faucet can flexibly adjust the water outlet position to adapt to complex layouts.
Save space
The valve body of a split faucet is usually installed under the countertop or inside the wall, reducing the space occupied by the countertop, which is suitable for small-sized or simple-style bathroom designs.
2. Aesthetics and personalized design
The hidden valve body enhances the sense of neatness
The valve body of a split faucet is hidden under the countertop or in the wall, leaving only the water outlet and the operating handle exposed, which is visually simpler and in line with the trend of modern minimalist design.
Diverse outlet shapes
Since the outlet is separated from the valve body, designers can design the shape, height and angle of the outlet more freely (such as waterfall, direct spray, etc.) to meet personalized needs.
More flexible material and color matching
The outlet and valve body of a split faucet can be made of different materials (such as matte black, brushed gold, copper, etc.) to create a contrasting effect and enhance the sense of spatial hierarchy.
3. Practicality and functional expansion
More accurate water flow control
The valve body of a split faucet is usually installed in a more stable position (such as a wall or under the countertop), which is not easy to shake during operation and has more accurate water flow control.
Easy to clean and maintain
The water outlet is installed separately, and there is no need to touch the hidden valve body when cleaning, reducing sanitary dead corners. If maintenance is required, only the water outlet or valve body needs to be removed, without replacing the entire body.
Support for multi-functional accessories
The split design facilitates the integration of additional functions, such as:
Pull-out nozzle: The water outlet can be equipped with a stretchable hose to facilitate cleaning the basin or washing hair.
Inductive water outlet: The valve body can be installed with an infrared sensor to achieve contactless operation.
Temperature display: Some high-end models integrate an LED temperature display at the water outlet.
4. Convenience of installation and maintenance
Reduce the difficulty of installation
The valve body of the split faucet has a more flexible installation position, and the best fixing method can be selected according to the countertop structure (such as wall grooving, countertop drilling, etc.) to avoid installation problems caused by countertop thickness or material.
Lower maintenance cost
If the valve body or water outlet is damaged, the corresponding parts can be replaced separately without replacing the faucet as a whole, reducing maintenance costs.
5. Applicable scenarios and groups
High-end residential and commercial spaces
The exquisite design and versatility of the split faucet make it the first choice for high-end hotels, villas, and model rooms, improving the quality of the space.
Small apartments and minimalist style
For users who pursue simplicity and space saving, the split faucet is an ideal choice.
People with special needs
The elderly or those with limited mobility: the induction split faucet can reduce manual operation and improve convenience.
Families with children: the height-adjustable water outlet design is safer.
