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

Nearly all residential faucets are dual-control or one cartridge faucets. Some single-control types use a metal or plastic core, which operates vertically. Others use a material ball, with spring-loaded silicone 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 much more durable.

Faucets must comply with water conservation laws. In the United States, shower basin faucets are now limited by 2 gal (7.6 L) of normal water per minute, while tub and bathtub faucets are limited by 2.5 gal (9.5 L).

Faucets run typically eight minutes per capita per day (pcd), matching to a report by the North american Water Works Relationship Research Base 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 fixtures, faucets transferred up to second at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Sink use was strongly related to household size. The addition of teens and adults increases water use. Faucet use is also negatively related to the amount of persons working beyond your home and is leaner for those who have an programmed dishwasher.The production process for faucets is becoming highly automated, with computers controlling almost all of the machines. Production and efficiency have thus improved over time.

Production and efficiency have improved over time. The basic process consists of forming the main body of the faucet (some-times like the spout if no swivel is necessary), applying a finish, and then assembling the many components, accompanied by presentation and inspection. The faucet industry has been influenced by environmental regulations also, that have required special processes to be developed.
