Faucet
A faucet is a device that controls the flow of water from a pipe, usually found in kitchens, bathrooms, and sinks.
In simple terms, it’s the tap you turn on and off to get water.

Common types of faucets
- Single-handle faucet – one lever controls water flow and temperature
- Double-handle faucet – separate handles for hot and cold water
- Mixer faucet – mixes hot and cold water in one control
