WARNING - FLUSH BEFORE USE.
If your bar faucets are older and not used regularly, it is recommended to let the water run for a few minutes to flush out any accumulated lead. Most bar faucets purchased prior to late 1990s were constructed of brass or chrome-plated brass, which contain up to 8 percent lead. Look for faucets that are labeled "Low Lead Compliant".

Bar faucets and bar sinks are usually a size smaller than those used in kitchens. This is mainly because the available space for a wet bar is often limited, especially if you want to squeeze in a small refrigerator as well.
Just like with other faucets there is a wide selection of bar faucets available from traditional bar faucets to contemporary bar faucets. The faucets are either single or double handled. Some come with a stand-alone or built-in spray which makes cleaning up after use easier.

BAR FAUCET FINISHES
Regardless of appearances, faucets are usually made of brass. So the popular 'nickel' bar faucet is made of brass but has a nickel finish.
Depending on brand and manufacturer other bar faucet finishes are marketed as antique brass, satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze or polished copper.
