Water Tap:- Tap water is water supplied to a tap. Its uses include drinking, washing, cooking, and the flushing of toilets.
Material use in manufacturing of water taps:-
Brass, an alloy of copper , steel and zinc, is the most widely used material for tap due to its resistance to soft-water corrosion and hard-water calcification. It usually contains some alloying elements—like bismuth—to make it easier to process.
Types of water Taps:- There is different type of water tap some are given below.
Pillar tapsMixer tapsMonoblocsDisk tapsWasherless tapsWater efficient tapsLong handle water tapThermostatic TapsInfra taps Pull-out tap
The most traditional style, pillar taps are the classic “hot and cold” style – two separate taps, one for each temperature.
Piller Tap:-
Advantage:- Pillar taps tend to be affordable and easy to install.Disadvantage:- Two separate tap for hot and cold water.Uses:- Use in both baths and basins
Monoblocs:- Monobloc taps operate in a similar way to mixer taps, in that the hot and cold water supplies are mixed inside the tap, but the temperature and flow is controlled with just one handle – twisting it to the left or right adjusts the temperature.
Advantage:- Twisting the handle causes a washer to move up and down, which controls how much water flows through. The temperature and flow is controlled with just oneDisadvantage:- Higher cost.
Uses:- use in bath and basin tab.
Mixer Tap:-Mixer taps have either a single or two handles on either side of a single spout. Hot and cold water are mixed in the body of the tap, while.
water flow and temperature are controlled by the individual/separate handles.Advantage:- only one tap for hot and cold water and affordable. Can emerge the hot and cold water .Disadvantage:- some mixers may require relatively high pressure to work properly.Uses:- use in bath and basin. Many mixer taps feature a practical pop-up waste mechanism.
Disk Taps:- Disk taps are also single handle mixer taps and are identified by their wide cylindrical body. They work using two ceramic disks which have holes that, when aligned, allow the water to pass. This means that disk taps only ever require a quarter turn to reach full capacity and are easily handled.
Advantage:- Full capacity can easily handle.Disadvantage:- there are a few parts that need repair after some time. small particles of dirt, grit or other foreign body can get trapped .
Washerless Tap:- Its a single-handle tap that could control the hot and cold water with one motion.
Ball taps:- ball taps work by pushing a hollow plastic or stainless steel ball over a rounded cover, which controls the temperature and flow of the water. These mechanisms are quite complex, and are prone to leaking more than other types of taps.
Cartridge taps:- cartridge taps have a lever controlling a plastic or brass cartridge which moves up and down to restrict flow, and from left to right to change temperature.
Ceramic taps:- ceramic taps have two ceramic plates which slide over each other to regulate temperature and flow and require the least maintenance out of all the types.
These are three types
Advantages:-Better Protects the Water Valve . Cheaper Replacement Parts.
Disadvantages:-These are prone to leaking more than other types of taps.Maintain cost is more.
Water Efficient Tap;-Where possible, you should opt for taps with the highest WELS rating you can manage, in order to save water and energy. The exception, of course, is your bath taps; these are only really used filling a bath, and for this purpose restricting the flow achieves nothing.
Advantage:- can control the flow of water and also manage the temperature of water.
Disadvantages:- cant use in wash basin . Only use to fill the bath tab.
Long Handle Water Tap:- these types taps have long handle to flow the water from the tap. These are special type of tap not use in wash basin and bathrooms .
Advantages:- more hygienic and Safe from germs. Disadvantages:- costly , cant use in home .Uses:- use in medical , clinic .
Thermostatic Taps;-A thermostatic tap is a great addition to any home where young children or the elderly could be prone to burning themselves. A thermostatic tap works by ensuring a constant temperature during use, which makes them a safer choice for the bathroom
Advantages;- make constant temperature during use.
Disadvantages:- we cant change temperature during using.
Infra Red Taps ;-
Advantage:- more hygienic. Save more water. And safe for children. Disadvantages :- not economical. use in five stars hotels.
Infra red taps offer a range of benefits as well as hygienic properties. Infra red basic
Operation , making them a more hygienic choice of bathroom tap. In addition to this, they feature an automatic shut off eliminating dripping with no chance of the tap being left running. Infra red basin taps are easy to use and ideal for bathrooms used by the less able and the elderly.
taps are activated by a motion sensor which enables hands-free
Pull-out tap:- These taps allow you to pull out the tap spout and fill a container away from the sink, and are therefore extremely useful for small or shallow sinks, with no room for high utensils. The spout is similar to a shower head. On the downside, the hose can puncture if incorrectly used whilst excessive use may wear out the spring in the long term.
Advantages:- The advantage of being retractable and can be easily returned to its original position.Disadvantages:-its cover more space.
