This particular tap is so called due the internal design., having a single hole. With its handles and its spout close together. They are designed for kitchens and bathrooms. All the taps covered here can be fitted by a Falconwood Plumber professionally.


Bath/Basin Mixer.

They can not be fitted to a rising main cold water system and the hot side is from is fed from a cylinder because if the mains pressure was to change, then, the difference in that pressure would suck back stored water into the mains and may contaminate the water for drinking. The hot and cold water are able to come together inside its body. They are usually fed with water from a cistern.

Mixer

Many mixers are of a two hole type that fit in a standard two hole sink for hot and cold. A professional plumbing service such as Falconwood Plumbers can give first class advice on choice and fitting of all tap types. They are two taps with a common spout hence the name. These taps are linked either by a deck block (which sits flat against the surface) or the raised, called a pillar block.

Mixer (Kitchen).

The spout usually swivels and should be able to reach both bowls of a double sink, they can also have capstan or lever style handles. The spout on this tap has separate channels for hot and cold water because the kitchen cold tap is fed direct from the mains and it is illegal to mix mains cold with hot from a cistern in one filling.

Bath/Shower Mixers.

The taps have a way of diverting the water flow from the spout of the tap over to the head of the shower through a switch that is a controller. They don’t usually give a spray, however they are quite popular on the bath.
