There are many types of water taps available on the market, here are just a few: The Monobloc Mixer Tap has a very compact body with the handles and the spout very close together. Some designs of this type of tap have narrow inlet pipes. There are designed to fit in bathrooms and the kitchen. Bath/Basin Mixers are made so that the hot and cold water can mix together within its body and is usually fed feed from a cistern. This type of fitting is not allowed to be fittted to a system that is fed by cold water from the rising main and the hot is fed from a cylinder because if the mains pressure changes, the difference in pressure between the two could easily result in the stored water being fed through suction back into the mains potentially contaminating drinking the water supply. A Bounds Green Plumber can supply and fit taps. The Kitchen Fexible Spout Mixer is a sink mixer made for hot and cold water, normally for single tap kitchen sinks. The water that is mixed comes through a single flexible swivelling spout. Its spout can be stored in a holder and used like a standard mixer tap, or used out of the holder. This makes pre-rinsing easy.Two flexible (soft bent copper) pipe tails are supplied for connection to a 15mm supply.?Shower Mixers use a control switch that diverts the flow of water from the spout to the shower head. They do not usually have a strong spray but they can be a useful addition to the bath. Mixers are linked either by a deck block (flush with the surface) or a pillar block (raised). Lots of mixers are of a two hole type that fit in a standard two hole sink for hot and cold. A professional service like Bounds Green Plumbers can supply and fit all appliances.
