| The professional skilled trade or a system with pipes, drainages and other related fixtures designed and implemented for managing the water requirements of a building is referred to as plumbing. A person who is professionally skilled and engaged in installing and maintaining piping systems is called a plumber. In this age when physical structures are being constructed like never before, plumbing systems and their designs have found much importance. Thus the plumbing industry has become a basic and substantial part of all economies owing to the requirement for clean water, proper drainage and associated comforts. In earlier days most piping materials and fixtures were made of cast iron or galvanized iron and lead. The invention and implementation of synthetic materials have eliminated the use of such metallic parts which had the disadvantage of being corroded. Moreover pipes and fixtures made from PVC or such artificial materials also had the advantage of better flexibility.
Apart from pipes and tubes, the other accessories used in plumbing systems are valves, elbows, tees, unions, pumps, tanks, back flow preventers, filters, gauges, control systems, heat exchangers, meters and all exterior fixtures like taps, showers, flushing systems, urinals, toilets, tubs, sinks, fountains, and humidifiers. Today’s plumbing designs give high importance to environment and water saving concerns. This is because the ever increasing population in urban areas has led to situation in which mankind cannot afford to lose a single drop of water. Thus all plumbing systems are well related to sewage systems in the same building or that of which the building is a part. Plumbing fixtures that are available today are designed for maximum comfort, luxury and exotic looks |
