Abstract (en)

The tap (1) comprises a second delivery conduit (8) distinct and separate from the first delivery conduit (5), adapted to deliver hot water. The sharing by the cold water and by the pure water of the same delivery conduit (5) enhances the guarantees that the prescribed chemical-physical characteristics of the pure water shall be retained. <IMAGE>
