Needless to say, there are some things that everyone knows to buy, such as switches, sockets, faucets, and so on. But there are also some accessories that are rarely seen in daily use, and many people are easy to take them lightly. Users on a budget, in particular, like to save money on these areas. If you don't want to regret your stay soon, treat them with caution.
#01.Floor drains
The floor drain is not well chosen, and there are too many troubles. Slow drainage, easy odor, easy to clog, etc., will appear one after another after 1 to 6 months of stay. There are also some users who have problems such as fracture and rust due to the poor quality of the floor drain they buy.
The correct way to buy a floor drain should be like this:
If the pure copper material is selected, the weight of a single floor drain should not be less than 250g.
Choose a metal anti-odor core, use a U-shape for the wet area of the bathroom, and use a T-type for the dry area of the bathroom, balcony and kitchen.
If you choose a double filter, the inner mesh should be made of metal.
Recommended Budget:80 yuan 120 yuan
#02.Flue check valve
The check valve is to prevent the flue from backing up to the room, especially the kitchen flue check valve, which is more likely to have problems due to heavy pollution. Inferior check valves will not be able to open or close after a long time, affecting the exhaust or the check effect will deteriorate.
The opposite flue check valve should be selected as follows:
Choose high-quality ABS material, try not to choose metal (metal is expensive, but easy to rust).
Choose a butterfly-shaped one with a spring, so as not to open or close it for a long time.
It is best to choose fireproof materials for the kitchen, and the bathroom can appropriately reduce the budget.

#03.Water pipe plugs
It doesn't matter if you're planning to install angle valves or faucets at every water point. However, if some water points are temporarily unused and need to be idle for a long time, you need to pay attention to the quality of the plug to avoid cracking and leaking.
The right plug for water pipes should be chosen like this:
Metal and PPR materials are OK, PVC materials cannot be selected, and they are not explosion-proof or compression-resistant.
Some plugs come with decorative caps, which will be more beautiful after installation;There are also hooks that can be used as hooks after installation.
Determine which outlet to be discarded, and plug it with a hot melt water stop needle.
Recommended Budget:Plug 5 yuan 10 yuan;Decorative caps 5 yuan;10 yuan for hot melt waterstop needles
#04.Angle valves
About 3 years of occupancy is the high incidence period of angle valve cracking. Many inferior angle valves can only be used for 3 years, after which they will crack and leak. Choosing a good angle valve is not only convenient for yourself, but also makes the downstairs neighbors less worried.
The purchase of angle valve is more complicated, you can look at it like this:
The valve core must be made of ceramic to avoid rust blocking the pipeline.
The main part is made of pure copper, but the thickness of the copper must be sufficient to avoid cracking.
The toilet angle valve and water heater inlet angle valve are selected with check valves.
Recommended Budget:30 yuan 50 yuan
#05.Curtain brackets
There are fewer problems for users of track curtains, and Roman rod users are easy to be pitted. Some people's curtain rods at home become bent after a period of time, which is not only the poor quality of the pole, but more importantly, the support of the bracket is not good.

The wall thickness of the single-rod bracket should not be less than 3mm, and the wall thickness of the double-rod bracket (with gauze curtain) should not be less than 4mm.
The buckle is made of resin, and the PVC will break after a long time.

#06.Cassette
The reserved position of the switch socket, the small box buried in the wall is the cassette. It is not only a fixed and support box for switches and sockets, but also a safety insurance for electricity, with fire and flame retardant capabilities.
Be extra cautious when purchasing and pay attention to:
ABS is better than metal material, and ABS can be better insulated and insulated.
The screw hole is made of plastic porous, and the levelness of the switch socket can be fine-tunedDo not have metal holes, it is easy to fall off.
