A faucet is a device for delivering normal water from a domestic plumbing system. It can consist of the following components: spout, handle(s), lift rod, cartridge, aerator, mixing chamber, and water inlets. Once the handle is turned on, the valve opens and controls this inflatable water stream adjustment under any heat or normal water condition. The faucet is usually made of brass, though die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastic are also used.

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

Faucets must adhere to water conservation laws and regulations. In america, bath tub basin faucets are actually 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 each day (pcd), relating to a report by the American Water Works Connection Research Foundation completed in 1999 that was based on normal water use data accumulated 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 fixtures, faucets transferred up to second at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Faucet use was tightly related to to household size. The addition of teens and adults increases water use. Sink use is also adversely related to the amount of persons working outside the home and is leaner for those who have an computerized dishwasher.The processing process for faucets has become automated highly, with computers controlling the majority of the machines. Production and efficiency have thus increased over time.

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