4 Classification and naming
4.1 Classification
4.1.1 Faucets are classified into single handle type and double handle type by the number of control handles.
4.1.2 Faucets are classified into thermostatic ones (hereinafter referred to as T) and constant pressure thermostatic ones (hereinafter referred to as TP) by the temperature control type.
4.1.3 They are classified into shower, bathtub, washing, basin, electric water heater, solar water heater, pipeline valve and so on by usage occasions.
4.1.4 They are classified into exposed ones and concealed ones by installation type.
4.1.5 They are classified into general pressure ones and high pressure ones by working pressure.
4.2 Naming
The name should include the number of control handles, the temperature control type, the usage occasion, installation type, and the working pressure.
