<abstract id="abst" lang="en">
<p id="pa01" num="0001">A tap includes a body (17), a valve (18) for regulating a flow of liquid and a spout (16). The spout (16) includes an outer tube (24) and at least one internal tube (34), arranged within the outer tube (24) and extending over part of a length of the spout (16). A series of passages is defined in the tap to lead liquid from the valve (18) through a passage (35) in the body (17), through at least the internal tube (34), to a passage leading to an outlet at an end of the spout (16). The internal tube (34) is connected at one end by a tube connector (37) including a flow regulating device (52) to a further internal tube (44) arranged within the outer tube (24).
