The plumbing system is one of the most important systems in any kind of building. Once, state-of-the-art in plumbing was cast-iron drains and brass supply pipes. Now, those materials have been replaced (for the most part) by PVC plastic, copper, and flexible cross-linked polyethylene, known as PEX. But whether the pipes are plastic, metal, or a combination of the two, it's the plumber's skill that determines how well the system works.

 

Planning and installing a system that's quiet, efficient, and leak free is something of an art. You'll see it in the way a good plumber arranges pipes and valves for ease of maintenance, avoids wasting material or weakening framing, and takes care to wipe joints clean.

 

Needed knowledge and skills of a good Plumber:

​

• Reading drawings, and specifications to determine layout of water supply, waste, and venting systems.

• Detecting faults in plumbing appliances and systems, and correctly diagnosing their causes.

• Installing, repairing and maintaining plumbing fixtures and systems.

• Locating and marking positions for pipe connections, passage holes, and fixtures in walls & floors.

• Measuring, cutting, bending, and threading pipes using hand and power tools or machines.

• Joining pipes and fittings together using soldering techniques, compression fittings, threaded fittings, and push-on fittings.

• Testing pipes for leaks using air and water pressure gauges.

• Awareness of legal regulations and safety issues.
