TW>JE>TW>JB>No, that would be a "spigot". TW>JE>TW>Not necessarialy. TW>JE>TW>ALL spigots have valves for NOT all Valves are Spigots!! :-) TW>JE>Well, all my life I have heard faucets, spigots, taps, & hydrants TW>JE>used as one and the same and all knew exactly what we meant. TW>BUT al of those have one thing in common. they release the Water outside TW>the piping system. A "Valve" keeps it "IN" the system and Controls it. TW>EXACTICALY what the Vacuum Tube does to the Current(Electron) flow. TW>The analogy of compiring "Electron Flow" to "Water Flow" is an excellent TW>teaching tool by the way foir the Newbee to "Radio Electricity"(What it TW>was called when I learned it). It was called "Electronics" when I learned it in 1942!
