Abstract (en)
There is disclosed a diverter tap for mounting through an aperture (12) in which access to wearing parts can be gained from the same side of the aperture (12) as the user control (65). In the case of a bath tap, this avoids the need to access the space below the bath. In a preferred embodiment, a water delivery spout (58) is removably secured to a tap body (14) such that it can be removed along with a valve spool (38) and a control rod (46). Access to three O-ring seals (40,56,68) for inspection and replacement can then be readily achieved. <IMAGE>
