A faucet is a tool for delivering water from a plumbing system. It could consist of the following components: spout, handle(s), lift up fishing rod, cartridge, aerator, combining chamber, and drinking water inlets. Once the handle is turned on, the valve opens and regulates this particular move adjustment under any heat range or drinking water condition. The faucet body is constructed of brass, though die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastic are also used.

The majority of home faucets are sole or dual-control cartridge faucets. Some single-control types use a metal or plastic core, which operates vertically. Others use a metal ball, with spring-loaded rubber seals recessed in to the faucet body. The less expensive dual-control faucets contain nylon cartridges with rubber seals. Some faucets have a ceramic-disc cartridge that is a lot more durable.

Faucets must adhere to water conservation regulations. In the United States, shower basin faucets are actually limited to 2 gal (7.6 L) of drinking water per minute, while bathtub and tub faucets are limited to 2.5 gal (9.5 L).

Faucets run an average of eight minutes per capita per day (pcd), according to a report by the North american Water Works Relationship Research Foundation completed in 1999 that was based on drinking water use data collected from 1,188 residences. In daily pcd use indoor drinking water use was at 69 gal (261 L), with faucet use third highest at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. In residences with water-conserving accessories, faucets migrated up to second at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Faucet use was related to home size. The addition of teens and adults increases water use. Tap use is also negatively related to the amount of persons working outside the home and is leaner for individuals who have an automated dishwasher.The creation process for faucets is becoming highly automated, with computers managing almost all of the machines. Productivity and efficiency have thus increased over time.

Output and efficiency have upgraded over the years. The essential process involves forming the primary body of the faucet (some-times including the spout if no swivel is needed), applying a finish, and then assembling the many components, accompanied by inspection and packaging. The faucet industry has been influenced by environmental regulations also, which have required special processes to be developed.
