newsPlastic taps for hot water from eBay
I posted this morning about taps that I got off collapsible water bottles and modified:
https://bkhome.org/news/201911/taps-for-basin-type-prototype-2.html
I will use these, but will make sure in the construction that I can
substitute a different tap if required. I did a search on eBay, looking
for plastic taps that are designed for high temperatures. I do have a
requirement of compactness, however with a plastic tap there is the
possibility of modifying it, and I am looking to see if the tap will be
amenable to surgery.
Most of them do not specify type of plastic, nor temperature limit.
However, a few do. This one is a 4-pack, AU$16.08 including postage,
specified for long-term use at 95 degrees C and short-term up to 120
degrees C:
This one is 2-pack at AU$13.19 plus AU$6.15 postage, also rated for 95 degrees continuous use:
This one is AU stock, AU$7.50 each, AU$9.00 postage. Doesn't specify a
temperature, however is made with polypropylene, which is good to 100
degrees C, and melts above 130 degrees C:
OTHERS:
I will mention these, but they are probably cheap low-temperature plastic:
This is the same design as the taps I am currently using:
...it could be sawed off and modified as I have done.
This is the cheapest:
And a couple more cheapies:
AND MORE:
Just a few more, that are interesting:
