Title: Small swan neck tap, single tap.
Post by Lectrician on Aug 13^th, 2014, 7:18am

There are two sinks at work which currently have small swan necks with no taps. The tap is controlled by a knee lever, the water from a blending valve.

They want the knee valves removing and a swan neck tap with built in valve fitting. Can you get a swan neck with just a single valve?

They are about 6 inch tall. They are only small hand basins.

Cheers.

They are all for H & C feeds - I am looking for one that would take a blended feed, so just a single water inlet/tap?

The hot side can be blended, and you could cap the cold if you really wanted.

Blending the hot tap is standard in at risk establishments.
