One hose typically connects to the cold water source, supplying cold water to the faucet; another connects to the hot water source, supplying hot water, thus meeting the sink's need for both cold and hot water for everyday tasks like washing vegetables and dishes. A third hose may be used for drainage, flushing used water from the sink down the drain. Properly connecting these three hoses is essential for the sink faucet to function properly, providing both hot and cold water and discharging wastewater.

 

1. Cold Water Pipe Connection: This hose delivers cold water to the sink faucet. Generally, the household cold water system is connected to the faucet via this hose. When the cold water valve is turned on, cold water flows along the hose and exits from the corresponding outlet, used for rinsing vegetables. This hose needs to be made of corrosion-resistant and flexible material to ensure a stable, long-term supply of cold water and adaptability to different installation environments and angles.

 

2. Hot Water Pipe Connection: This hose introduces hot water into the sink faucet. Hot water usually comes from the household hot water supply system, such as a water heater. This flexible hose must also ensure good heat resistance and sealing to prevent hot water leakage. When the hot water tap is turned on, hot water will flow through the hose to the tap, meeting people's needs for washing dishes, fruits, and vegetables with hot water.
