Abstract (en)
A tap 100 comprises a body 110 and a threaded tail pipe 120 having an internal bore through which water may pass and a threaded outer surface 121. Upon the tail pipe 120 are provided a locking nut 122, a locking washer 128, a pair of anchor means 123, a washer 124 provided between said anchor means 123, and a back nut 126. To fit the tap 100 to a surface, the tail pipe 120 is passed through a hole provided in the surface. The hole is of such a size that the back nut 126 and anchor means 123 can pass through the hole but the locking nut 122 and locking washer 128 are unable to pass through the hole. To secure the tap 100 in position, the locking nut 122 is driven towards the back nut 126. This causes the anchor means 123 to become compressed and deform outwardly thus engaging the edges of the hole and securing the tap 100 in position.
