Some Information about Plumbing and Plumbing tools
A plumbing fixture is a device which is part of a system to deliver and drain away water, but which is also configured to enable a particular use. Each fixture usually has a characteristic means of connection. Normal plumbing practice is to install a valve on each water supply line before the fixture, and this is most commonly termed a stop or "service valve". The water supply to some fixtures is cold water only (such as water closets and urinals). Most fixtures also have a hot water supply. In some occasional cases, a sink may have both a potable (drinkable) and a non-potable water supply.
