A faucet is a tool for delivering water from a domestic plumbing system. It can consist of the next components: spout, handle(s), lift fishing rod, cartridge, aerator, mixing up chamber, and drinking water inlets. Once the handle is fired up, the valve opens and manages this circulation adjustment under any temperatures or water condition. The faucet body is made of brass, though die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastic are being used also.

Nearly all residential faucets are solitary or dual-control cartridge faucets. Some single-control types use a metal or plastic core, which operates vertically. Others use a material ball, with spring-loaded plastic seals recessed into the faucet body. The less costly dual-control faucets contain nylon cartridges with plastic seals. Some faucets have a ceramic-disc cartridge that is much more durable.

Faucets must comply with water conservation laws and regulations. In america, bathtub basin faucets are actually limited to 2 gal (7.6 L) of water per minute, while tub and shower 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 North american Water Works Relationship Research Groundwork completed in 1999 that was based on 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 fixtures, faucets moved up to second at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Faucet use was tightly related to to home 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 lower for many who have an computerized dishwasher.The manufacturing process for faucets is becoming highly programmed, with computers handling most of the machines. Productivity and efficiency have thus advanced over time.

Productivity and efficiency have better over the years. The essential process involves forming the main body of the faucet (some-times including the spout if no swivel is necessary), applying a finish, and then assembling the various components, followed by presentation and inspection. The faucet industry in addition has been impacted by environmental regulations, that have required special processes to be developed.
