  • On the body there is a gas inlet section and at least one gas outlet section.
  • the function of said guidance element is to guide the gas, entering into the tap through the gas inlet section, to the gas outlet section with suitable flow rate.
  • gas having flow rate which is suitable for the burning position in the burners as desired by the user, is guided to the burners.
  • the user adjusts the burning position by means of a control element fixed to the shaft of the tap.
  • This control element is in general a rotary control knob.
