Metal spigots can be designed as anti scald spigots, effectively reducing the risk of high-temperature burns during use through optimization of structure, materials, and technology. Here are several key aspects of its anti scald design:
1. Double layer structure insulation design
Anti scald metal spigots usually adopt a "shell insulation" design, which means that the inside is a pipeline for hot water, while the outside is a metal shell with air gaps or insulation layers, reducing heat conduction to the shell and avoiding direct contact of hands with high-temperature surfaces and burns.
2. Cold aisle technology (cold body technology)
Some high-end anti scald spigots use cold channel technology, which forms a "cold water protection layer" inside the spigot that surrounds the hot water channel, preventing the hot water from directly heating the metal outer wall and effectively reducing the temperature of the shell.
3. Anti scalding and temperature limiting control
It can integrate temperature control valve core or temperature limiting device to automatically limit hot water output above the set temperature (such as 38 ℃), prevent accidental high temperature outflow, and protect sensitive users such as children and the elderly.
4. Safety tips and locking function
Some anti scald spigots are designed with temperature warning color rings (such as red and blue changing), button locks or knob protection mechanisms, which require an additional unlocking operation when turning on high-temperature water, reducing the risk of burns caused by misoperation from a physical perspective.
5. Choose low thermal conductivity metals or surface treatments
Some products may choose alloy materials with lower thermal conductivity or apply ceramic coatings, electroplating insulation treatment, etc. to the metal surface to reduce the heat transfer rate and make the shell temperature more controllable.
