Taps

• Taps, also known as faucets, are essential fixtures in plumbing systems that control the flow of water from pipes. From the kitchen sink to the bathroom shower, they play a crucial role in providing access to clean water.
• Taps consist of several key components, including the handle or lever, the spout, and the valve mechanism.
• The handle is used to control the flow and temperature of the water.
• The valve mechanism may vary from traditional compression valves to modern ceramic disc cartridges.
• The spout directs the water to the desired location.

Types of Taps

• Single-handle tap: Features a single lever to control both flow and temperature of water.
• Two-handle tap: Has separate handles for hot and cold water.
• Wall-mounted tap: Installed directly on the wall instead of the sink.
• Pull-out or pull-down tap: Comes with a retractable spray head for flexible use.
