1. Spray nozzle material: ABS plastic: Most shower nozzles on the market are made of ABS plastic material, with diverse shapes and appearance treatments, high aesthetic value, long-term use without burning hands, lightweight and convenient use, affordable price, and the highest cost-effectiveness. Stainless steel material: not easy to shape, but can be large or thin in size, with a certain degree of beauty and practicality. Long term use does not burn hands. Compared to ABS plastic, the price is relatively expensive. To pursue aesthetics, you can buy copper nozzles: due to cost and process issues, there are few styles, mostly European retro style, with low cost-effectiveness and practicality.

2. Dragon head material: Recommended copper alloy material, with good texture and strong durability. Copper has excellent processing performance and is easier to create different shapes. Copper ions have antibacterial properties, so the inner wall will not breed bacteria, and water use is more in line with human health standards. Easy to cast, resistant to high and low temperatures, explosion-proof, can withstand high water pressure, and has high fluidity. Stainless steel material is not easy to shape and is rarely used for faucets. If selected, 304 or 316 stainless steel should be used.
