(Phase 1, Area B). ## 1. Key Categories * **Ceramics:** Toilets (Smart & Standard), Basins. * **Faucets & Brassware:** Mixers, Shower heads. * **Shower Enclosures:** Glass cabins. ## 2. Production Hubs * **Foshan:** The absolute king of ceramics and toilets. * **Kaiping (Shuikou):** The "City of Faucets". If you buy taps, buy from Kaiping factories. * **Wenzhou:** Also makes faucets, but generally lower cost/quality than Kaiping. ## 3. Technical Checks * **Toilets:** Ask about the **Glazing**. Is the trapway fully glazed? (Prevents clogging). Ask about the **Flushing Mechanism** brand (Geberit or WDI?). * **Faucets:** Ask about the **Cartridge** (Sedal/Kerox?). A bad cartridge means a leaky tap in 6 months. Ask about the **Brass content** (59% Brass is standard). ## 4. Smart Toilets This market is booming. * Look for features like: Auto-open seat, UV sterilization, and Kick-flush. * *Warning:* Electronics in a wet environment fail easily. Ask about their PCB waterproofing rating (IP67?). ## Summary Visit the **Kaiping** pavillion within the hall for the best faucets. Visit the **Foshan** pavillion for the best toilets.
