Sanitary Bathroom Fittings: China OEM Sourcing
2 resources tagged with "Sanitary Bathroom"
Sanitary bathroom products from China — basin mixers, concealed thermostatic shower systems, brass valves — live or die on the cartridge and the water-contact certification. The ceramic cartridges that matter carry WRAS, ACS, or DVGW approval for the UK, France, and Germany respectively, and a concealed thermostatic valve must hold its set temperature within a few degrees when cold-water pressure drops. Most OEM mixer-tap factories cluster around Kaiping and Wenzhou, with MOQs typically 500–1,000 pieces per finish.
When you source bathroom fittings, the brass alloy matters as much as the look: low-lead brass (e.g., CW724R) is required for drinking-water contact in the EU and US. The common pitfall is accepting a chrome finish that passes visual inspection but fails a neutral salt-spray test, so specify a minimum salt-spray duration (often 24h or more) in the PO.

FAQ
What certification do bathroom taps need for the UK and EU?
UK water fittings need WRAS approval; France uses ACS and Germany uses DVGW. The certification applies to the wetted parts — primarily the ceramic cartridge and the brass body alloy — so confirm the factory's approval covers the exact cartridge they ship.
What is the typical MOQ for OEM bathroom mixers?
Most Chinese factories quote 500–1,000 pieces per model and finish. Custom finishes like brushed gold or matte black usually carry a higher MOQ and a 30–45 day lead time because of the PVD coating run.
