The installation height of the metal spigot needs to be designed based on the usage scenario and ergonomics, with specific requirements as follows:
1、 Installation height specification basis
The matching height of human motion scale needs to be adapted to the user's natural standing posture:
Handwashing station: wrist lift height (with fingertips pointing upwards at an angle of about 20 ° when the elbow is slightly bent)
Kitchen sink: Avoid frequent elbow collisions with the spigot while washing the pot
The vertical distance between the splash proof water outlet and the receiving container (basin/sink) needs to be controlled:
Too close (<10cm) causes water flow to impact and splash
Too far away (>25cm) can easily detach from the container range
2、 Scene based high standard
Application Scenario | Reference Position | Adaptation Factors |
Basin Faucet | 3-8cm above basin rim | Lower for undermount sinks to prevent splash |
Kitchen Sink Faucet | 15-25cm above countertop | Raise for deep sinks (>18cm) |
Bathtub Faucet | 15-30cm above bathtub ledge | Avoid head-contact zones in reclining position |
Washing Machine Faucet | 80-100cm above floor level | Must exceed inlet valve to prevent backflow |
3、 Concealed engineering restrictions
The final adjustable range is determined by the fixed height of the outlet of the hot and cold water pipes constrained by the embedded pipelines
The height error of the standard concealed water outlet should be controlled within ± 1cm
When the export is uneven, it needs to be adjusted with a universal bent foot
When the wall structure affects the depth of the load-bearing wall slot and is limited, high-level installation needs to be fixed with an extended threaded rod
4、 Special group adaptation
Double height design for children's use scenarios in kindergartens and other places: low level spigot (≤ 65cm from the ground)+regular adult height
When the space under the washbasin for wheelchair users is ≥ 70cm, the height of the spigot is reduced by 10-15cm compared to conventional methods
5、 Key points for avoiding construction pits
Misalignment remediation plan: When the embedded pipe is too high:
Thickened countertop cushion for high floors
Switching to a lift type extended valve stem
Water quality protection measures: Washing machines/drinking water spigots must not be lower than the equipment inlet to prevent siphon pollution (check valves can be installed)
