Water Tap
A water tap, commonly referred to as a faucet, is a fundamental fixture in homes, businesses, and public spaces, designed to control the flow of water. This seemingly simple device plays a critical role in providing access to clean water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and other activities.
- Spout: Directs the flow of water out of the tap.
- Handle or Knob: Used to turn the water on and off, and adjust the flow and temperature.
- Valve: Controls the release of water from the main supply.
- Aerator: A small screen attached to the spout that mixes air with water to create a steady, splash-free stream.
- Base: Connects the tap to the sink or surface.
