A flow control knob5and a water temperature control knob6are provided at the front of the tap. The tap has a flow mixer cartridge11, which is sealed in a cavity12in the body. The collar has three sealing grooves15,16,17carrying O-rings115,116,117. To one side, of the oblique groove16, the collar has a cold water port22; whilst to the other side it has a hot water port23.

The connections are able to be axially aligned with each other, since the ports22,23are offset and isolated from each other by the oblique seal.
