Nearly all domestic faucets are dual-control or solo cartridge faucets. Some single-control types use a plastic or metal core, which operates vertically.

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

Faucets run an average of eight minutes per capita each day (pcd), relating to a report by the American Water Works Connection Research Groundwork completed in 1999 that was predicated on normal water use data collected 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 fittings, 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. Faucet use is also negatively related to the amount of persons working outside the home and is leaner for those who have an automatic dishwasher.The processing process for faucets has become computerized highly, with computers managing almost all of the machines. Productivity and efficiency have thus advanced over time.

The basic process contains forming the key body of the faucet (some-times including the spout if no swivel is necessary), applying a finish, and assembling the various components then, followed by presentation and inspection. The faucet industry has been impacted by environmental regulations also, which have required special processes to be developed.
