A faucet is a device for delivering water from a plumbing system. It can consist of the next components: spout, handle(s), lift pole, cartridge, aerator, mixing chamber, and normal water inlets. Once the handle is fired up, the valve starts and handles the water stream adjustment under any normal water or temp condition. The faucet is usually made of brass, though die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastic are also used.

Nearly all home faucets are solitary 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 silicone seals recessed in to 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 comply with water conservation laws and regulations. In the United States, bath tub basin faucets are actually limited by 2 gal (7.6 L) of drinking water per minute, while bathtub and tub faucets are limited by 2.5 gal (9.5 L).

Faucets run an average of eight minutes per capita each day (pcd), according to a report by the American Water Works Connection Research Foundation completed in 1999 that was predicated on drinking water use data accumulated from 1,188 residences. In daily pcd use indoor normal 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 migrated up to second at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Sink use was related to home size. The addition of teens and adults increases water use. Faucet use is also negatively related to the amount of persons working outside the home and is lower for many who have an automatic dishwasher.The making process for faucets has become automated highly, with computers controlling most of the machines. Output and efficiency have thus better over time.

Productivity and efficiency have better over the years. The basic process contains 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 packaging and inspection. The faucet industry has also been influenced by environmental regulations, that have required special processes to be developed.
