At Youchu, we believe longevity begins with the raw materials. Unlike standard faucets, our commercial-grade products are engineered to withstand high-frequency use, aggressive cleaning chemicals, and varying water qualities. We primarily employ two core materials:
Lead-Free Brass (CW510L/CW507S): For our internal valves and critical castings, we use high-grade, lead-free brass. This material offers superior machinability and exceptional corrosion resistance, preventing dezincification and ensuring a long service life. This commitment to lead-free materials is not just a manufacturing choice but a responsibility to the health and safety of end-users.
304 & 316 Stainless Steel: For exposed components like spouts and spray heads, we often utilize 304 or 316 stainless steel. Known for its excellent resistance to rust and staining, 316 stainless steel is particularly valued in coastal areas for its resilience against saltwater corrosion.
Our material selection process is rigorous. Every batch of raw material arrives with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) to verify its composition and quality. This foundational step ensures that every Youchu faucet has the inherent strength to meet the rigors of a 24/7 commercial kitchen, providing peace of mind for facility managers and chefs alike.
