A faucet (commonly referred to as a water tap or mixer) is a plumbing fixture designed to regulate and direct the flow of water into sinks, washbasins, and bathtubs. Constructed from solid brass, stainless steel (SS 304), or durable ABS plastic, modern faucets combine functional water control with architectural design. Available as single taps, wall mixers, 360-degree swivel spouts, and flexible pull-out sprayers, faucets serve as essential hardware for both residential kitchens and bathroom setups.
