Plumbing parts

Plumbing parts are often made from such materials as plastic and metal. Copper is a commonly used material due to its safety and durability. Copper is also fairly price competitive. It may cost a little more, but generally it increases the value of the home and requires less future repairs.

Pipes and tubes are important plumbing parts. These are the straight sections of a plumbing system. They are connected by various fittings which are just as integral as piping is. Valves are technically fitting devices but are generally discussed as separate parts in and of themselves.

The plumbing parts which people within a home or business generally interact with are known as fixtures. Fixtures are designed to deliver and drain water. Some examples of these include sinks, toilets, bath tubs and drinking fountains.
