7 Commonly Used Kitchen Taps at Home

Our faucets have always supplied us with the necessities we require. They supply water for both cleaning and drinking purposes. These taps have been in the plumbing market for a long time, and over time, various features that can be used in a variety of situations have been developed. Here are some of the most common types of kitchen faucets found in most homes:

Ball tap

The ball tap is well-known for its single lever, which causes a rotating motion throughout the cap. The cap has slots that control the amount of hot or cold water that can be dispensed through the spout.

Disk tap

Disk taps are commonly used taps that will provide you with long-term service without wearing out. The tap is made of two ceramic disks, one of which is movable and the other fixed. Because of its durability, this type of type can handle a variety of water conditions in your home.

Cartridge tap

This type of faucet is also referred to as “washerless.” The name cartridge tap refers to the hollow metal or plastic cartridge that is sealed on the body or spout of the tap. Furthermore, there are two known versions of this tap; the first is the two handle tap, which uses various types of valves, and the second is the single lever tap.

Compression washer tap

The compression washer tap is commonly found in nursing homes. This is due to the fact that this type of tap has been around for a long time in the plumbing market. The tap has two distinct handles that control the flow of cold and hot water. Compression taps function when a compression force is applied to the valve seat.

Pull out tap

It is recommended that households with small kitchen sinks use pull out taps rather than other types. Because of its retractable features, the tap is ideal for shallow sinks. The spout can be removed to wash large kitchen and cooking utensils, as well as large kettles that would not fit in the sink. The tap’s spring, on the other hand, loosens and wears out over time, just like any other amenity.

Pull down tap

Although this tap looks similar to the pull out tap, its function and purpose are completely different. The pull-down tap can be moved up and down to accommodate a large and deep kitchen sink. You can easily wash all of your utensils and cooking ingredients by simply pulling the spread head down.

Touchless tap/Motion detector

This tap appears to be influenced by cutting-edge technology. Its purpose, like that of any other tap, is to provide clean water for washing or drinking. This type of tap, on the other hand, provides water without even touching the handle. The tap has a motion sensor that turns on the water immediately.
