Pillar tap
A pillar tap is a tap with a single water supply, hot or cold, used in pairs with one for each. Pillar taps suit traditional kitchens, but they do not mix water at the spout, so you may fill the bowl with warm water rather than adjust it as it runs. Each tap needs its own hole in the sink or worktop, and the spacing between the holes matters. Check the specification of the sink for the number of holes.
