A faucet is a device for delivering drinking water from a plumbing related system. It could consist of the next components: spout, handle(s), lift rod, cartridge, aerator, mixing up chamber, and normal water inlets. When the handle is fired up, the valve starts and handles this particular movement adjustment under any normal water or temp condition. The faucet is usually manufactured from brass, though die-cast zinc and chrome-plated plastic are being used also.

Nearly all domestic faucets are one 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 plastic seals recessed in to the faucet body. The less costly dual-control faucets contain nylon cartridges with plastic seals. Some faucets have a ceramic-disc cartridge that is a lot more durable.

Faucets must comply with water conservation laws. In the United States, shower 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 an average of eight minutes per capita each day (pcd), according to a study by the American Water Works Association Research Base completed in 1999 that was based on normal 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 fittings, faucets changed up to second at 11 gal (41.6 L) pcd. Tap use was strongly related to home size. The addition of teens and adults increases water use. Sink use is also negatively related to the number of persons working outside the home and is leaner for those who have an computerized dishwasher.The manufacturing process for faucets has become automated highly, with computers managing almost all of the machines. Output and efficiency have thus improved upon over time.

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