A faucet is a device for delivering water from a plumbing related system. It can consist of the next components: spout, handle(s), lift up pole, cartridge, aerator, mixing chamber, and normal water inlets. Once the handle is fired up, the valve starts and controls this inflatable water stream adjustment under any normal water or temps condition. The faucet body is made 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 metallic ball, with spring-loaded rubber seals recessed into the faucet body. The less costly dual-control faucets contain nylon cartridges with rubber seals. Some faucets have a ceramic-disc cartridge that is much more durable.

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

Faucets run typically eight minutes per capita each day (pcd), relating to a report by the American Water Works Relationship Research Basis completed in 1999 that was predicated on drinking water use data collected from 1,188 residences. In daily pcd use indoor 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 moved up to second at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Tap 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 beyond your home and is lower for those who have an programmed dishwasher.The production process for faucets is becoming highly programmed, with computers managing most of the machines. Efficiency and efficiency have thus advanced over time.

Production and efficiency have improved over the years. The basic process includes forming the key body of the faucet (some-times including the spout if no swivel is needed), applying a finish, and then assembling the many components, followed by inspection and packaging. The faucet industry has been impacted by environmental regulations also, which have required special processes to be developed.
