What's the bit that turns a tap called?
As per subject, what's the knob on top of a tap called? We have two
perfectly serviceable taps on our washbasin but one of the plastic knobs is disintegrating - I'd like to get a replacement. I guess the whole of the tap, as in the insert that can be removed from above wouldn't cost all that much but even then I don't really know what it's called. They seem to have a fairly standard size serrated (I know that's not the right word) shaft and are fixed by M4 screws. -- Chris Green |
