A look at faucets
A tap is a valve for controlling the flow of a liquid or gas. It can
refer to a valve for tap water or a faucet. Also as most may know it can
be considered a valve connected to a keg of beer to allow one to control
the flow of the beer. Most of us know this as a beer tap. In a broader
but less common sense, it may refer to any water spigot.
Older style water taps for bathing, sinks and basins generally had
separate hot and cold taps. A more modern tap design is the 'mixer', a
single tap whose handle moves up and down to control the amount of water
flow and from side to side to control the temperature of the water
(achieved by mixing the hot and cold water together). Latest designs do
this using a built in thermostat.
