- Body casting
Production
At every stage of TOKITO product manufacturing, from careful material selection to the final product assembly, tests are conducted.
All components are manufactured within Japan. This ensures the reliability of product use even under high-intensity use.
Quality control of brass - the chemical composition of raw material for faucets. After body casting it is inspected for chips and cracks.
2. Polishing
After polishing the faucet body is checked for the quality of the polishing on special stands.
3. Chrome-nickel coating
The thickness of the chrome-nickel coating is checked on a spectrograph, and samples are selected for testing in a "salt spray".
4. Testing of components
Testing of components used in manufacturing. After the final assembly each finished faucet is leak tested by water and air pressure. Faucets are tested for 250,000+ opening/closing cycles.
Surface Protection
A special technology developed by Japanese engineers is used for ceramic sanitary surfaces — the "Mitsushi Professional" protective glaze on sanitary porcelain.
This ensures resistance to scratches, stains, and chemical exposure, maintaining the attractive appearance of the product for many years.
