Basic Note's on Plumbing

What is Plumbing ?
Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids. Heating and cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications. The word derives from the Latin for lead, plumbum, as the first effective pipes used in the Roman era were lead pipes.

The major categories of plumbing systems or subsystems are:

Potable cold and hot tap water supply
Plumbing drainage venting
Sewage systems and septic systems with or without hot water heat recycling and graywater recovery and treatment systems
Rainwater, surface, and subsurface water drainage
Fuel gas piping
Hydronics, i.e. heating and cooling systems using water to transport thermal energy, as in district heating systems.

Plumbers may work in commercial and residential buildings, farms, parks and public spaces. Experienced plumbers may own and operate their own business and hire entry and mid-level plumbers.
