why dont we have a warm tap aswell as a hot and cold one?

Question

Makes sence to me as it's either too hot or too cold?

Answer 1

Buy a mixer tap!

Answer 2

It does make sense, and this is entirely up to you. There are a variety of taps on the market for kitchen and bath that combine the two.

The most common reasons that not ALL taps are like this:

1) Style. Many people like the styles availabe in seperate taps, whereas the single taps all seem to resemble a tongue-like phallic symbol.

2) Cost. Fixtures last a long time. If it works, why fix it?

Answer 3

Why would you need a warm tap? You can adjust your hot water thermostat to make your hot water cooler if it's too hot. Pretty soon we won't have hot and cold taps anyway, I believe that the building regs are going to change and all new fit plumbing will require mixer taps to lessen the number of people who get scalded.

Answer 4

Cos you can mix the hot and cold to get warm

Answer 5

Because it would cause to much confusion and lead to people asking stupid questions like "why don't we have 5 taps instead of just 3"

Answer 6

Its because of the expense involved in doing it. You would need to install a "water tempering valve" and then an extra water line in addition to the two that you have aleady.

Answer 7

Because someone invented the mixing tap.

Answer 8

Because people would still complain. Whats warm to me, may be hot or cold to you. With two taps, you can please yourself.

Answer 9

you are stranger than fiction put a theromat on hot supply i thing you are experienaced and know how to do that

Answer 10

Yes why don't we,good ?
