Sanitary Tee<\/span><\/h3>\n

A sanitary tee is a tee with a curved center section designed to minimize the possibility of siphon action that could draw water out of a trap. The center connection is generally connected to the pipe which leads to a trap (the trap arm).<\/p>\n

Plumbing<\/strong> (from the Latin<\/a> plumbum<\/em> for lead<\/a> as pipes were once made from lead) is the skilled trade of working with pipes<\/a>, tubing<\/a> and plumbing fixtures<\/a> for drinking water<\/a> systems and the drainage of waste. A plumber<\/a><\/strong> is someone who installs or repairs piping<\/a> systems, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as water heaters<\/a>. The plumbing industry is a basic and substantial part of every developed economy due to the need for clean water, and proper collection and transport of wastes.<\/p>\n

Plumbing also refers to a system of pipes and fixtures installed in a building for the distribution of potable water and the removal of waterborne wastes. Plumbing is usually distinguished from water and sewage systems<\/a>, in that a plumbing system serves one building, while water and sewage systems serve a group of buildings or a city.<\/p>\n

Plumbing was extremely rare until the growth of modern cities in the 19th century. At about the same time public health authorities began pressing for better waste disposal systems to be installed. Earlier, the waste disposal system merely consisted of collecting waste and dumping it on ground or into a river. Standardized earthen plumbing pipes with broad flanges<\/a> making use of asphalt<\/a> for preventing leakages appeared in the urban settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization<\/a> by 2700 B.C. Plumbing originated during the ancient civilizations such as the Greek, Roman, Persian, Indian, and Chinese civilizations as they developed public baths and needed to provide potable water<\/a>, and drainage of wastes. The Romans used lead pipe inscriptions<\/a> to prevent water theft. Improvement in plumbing systems was very slow, with virtually no progress made from the time of the Roman system of aqueducts<\/a> and lead<\/a> pipes until the 19th century. Eventually the development of separate, underground water and sewage systems eliminated open sewage ditches and cesspools<\/a>. Most large cities today pipe solid wastes to treatment plants in order to separate and partly purify the water before emptying into streams or other bodies of water.<\/p>\n

Water systems of ancient times relied on gravity for the supply of water, using pipes or channels usually made of clay<\/a>, lead<\/a>, bamboo or stone. Present-day water-supply systems use a network of high-pressure pumps, and pipes are now made of copper, brass, plastic, or other nontoxic material. Present-day drain and vent lines are made of plastic, steel, cast-iron, and lead. Lead is not used in modern water-supply piping due to its toxicity.<\/p>\n

The \u2019straight\u2019 sections of plumbing systems are of pipe<\/strong> or tube<\/strong>. A pipe is typically formed via casting or welding, where a tube is made through extrusion. Pipe normally has thicker walls and may be threaded or welded, where tubing is thinner-walled and requires special joining techniques such as \u2018brazing\u2019, \u2018compression fitting\u2019, \u2018crimping\u2019, or for plastics, \u2019solvent welding\u2019.<\/p>\n

In addition to the straight pipe or tubing, many fittings are required in plumbing systems, such as valves, elbows, tees, and unions. The piping and plumbing fittings<\/a> and valves<\/a> articles discuss these features further.<\/p>\n

Plumbing fixtures<\/a> are designed for the end-users. Some examples of fixtures include water closets (also known as toilets<\/a>), urinals<\/a>, bidets<\/a>, showers<\/a>, bathtubs<\/a>, utility and kitchen sinks<\/a>, drinking fountains<\/a>, ice makers<\/a>, humidifiers<\/a>, air washers<\/a>, fountains<\/a>, and eye wash stations.<\/p>\n

Plumbing equipment, not present in all systems, include, for example, water meters, pumps<\/a>, expansion tanks, backflow preventers, filters, water softeners, water heaters<\/a>, wrenches<\/a>, heat exchangers<\/a>, gauges, and control systems.<\/p>\n

Now there is equipment that is technologically advanced and helps plumbers fix problems without the usual hassles. For example, plumbers use video cameras for inspections of hidden leaks or problems, they use hydro jets, and high pressure hydraulic pumps connected to steel cables for trench-less sewer line replacement.<\/p>\n
