Not all Plumbing devices do; some have combined hot/cold taps. In either case, hot and cold water lines are separate, the hot water coming from a water heater. The simplest taps merely control each line, letting the user measure out how much of each they want.

What letter would you see on a french hot tap?
Usually there are no letters on French taps; some old taps bear the letters C (for chaud = hot) and F (froid = cold). Hot water taps are always located on the left side, cold water taps on the right.

On newer models, having a central lever instead of two taps, you turn the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for more cold water. Also the blue and red marks may be found on these type of taps.
