Poll: Taps: Hot & Cold

[TomaHawk]

Hot left, Cold Right.. admittedly I did glance over! hah.

 

[BigglesPiP]

It depends which direction you approach the taps from

So you account for standing in the sink facing out.

 

[Phaser]

Bath - Hot left Cold Right
Bathroom Sink - Cold left Hot right
Kitchen Sink - Hot left Cold right

Exactly this.

 

[eXor]

Hot left, cold right, combined tap.


Separates suck!

 

[ticklemebougy]

hot left cold right here, but my kitchen taps are the other way round.

 

[InvaderGIR]

who designed this poll ??

Well I designed the sensible 2 option one, but no, it had to be made into a silly 4 option one.

no option for op ban?

Oi, this is a very important subject...as is evident here.

 

[chrisxuk]

I don't have hot water.

 

[taz488]

wots the difference between;

hot left - cold right
cold right - hot left

are they not the same thing?

edit:

So you account for standing in the sink facing out.

rofl

 

[Rich_L]

One tap....turn left for hot, right for cold

Two taps is rubbish

 

[mjer1984]

Depends where you are in our house

Bath - Hot left Cold Right
Bathroom Sink - Cold left Hot right
Kitchen Sink - Hot left Cold right

yep.

 

[Guerrilla]

Hot on the left, cold on the right, although for some odd reason there is one sink in the house which has it the other way around.

What I hate about UK is 2 separate taps, one for hot and one for cold water. I prefer 1 tap so I can set the temperature I like and not burn my hands.

Maybe in a bathroom/kitchen designed in the 1940's. Ive certainly never had separate taps like that in any of the houses ive lived in or owned!

I got a more bizarre shower/bath tap system, one tap controls (or should do, not that there seems to be any difference) the amount of water you get and another controls the temperature o_O...

But at normal taps, yeah hot left, cold right.

That is a thermostatic setup and is the best type...as it means that you never get a variation in water temperature regardless of flow or other conditions in the house.

 

[rsatd]

Good in theory, but the flow is always constant regardless of the setting, so it is used as an on/off switch, and the temperature has three settings, bloody cold, bloody hot and just right.

Saying that it is better then 2 taps.

 

[Gaijin]

Anyone who doesn't have mixer taps in 2009 should be whipped and thrown in the sea.

 

[St0rmer66]

But hot can be used as a cold tap until it heats up, i deem it the more useful tap!

You wouldn't say that if you looked what's floating about inside the hot water header tank... (unless you have a combi boiler, in which case it's fine).

 

[doyle369]

Poll Please.

Hot on the left, cold on the right.
Cold on the left, hot on the right.


Need to settle an argument from motors.

How have you managed to get 4 options? Poll Fail because of repeated options
