Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sanitary products, in particular to a shower faucet. Background Art

[0002] The existing shower faucets are made of sand casting or solid materials, so they are relatively heavy. When directly fixed to the wall through the water inlet pipe, it will greatly increase the stress at the position of the water inlet pipe structure, and at the same time, it also occupies more material costs. Therefore, there is a shell-type shower faucet, which adopts a lighter shell and installs a water circuit component inside to realize the layout of the water circuit. However, since the water inlet direction is divided into back inlet (into the wall) or bottom inlet, usually two sets of independent molds need to be opened for the shell, increasing the production cost. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a shower faucet with light weight, high universality of the shell, and convenient for the manufacturer to adjust the position of the water inlet according to the water inlet mode.
