Fundamentals of Plumbing and Plumbing Systems Flashcards
the art and science of creating and maintaining sanitary conditions in building used by humans
Plumbing
also defined as the art and science of installing, repairing and servicing the pipes, fixtures and appurtenances necessary for bringing in water supply and removing liquid and water-borne wastes
plumbing
the art and science of installing in buildings the pipes, fixtures and other appurtenances bringing in the water supply and removing liquid and water-borne wastes
plumbing
it includes the fixtures and fixture traps; the soil and waste pipes; vent pipes; the building drain and building sewer; and the storm drainage pipes; with their devices, appurtenances and connections to all within or adjacent to the building
plumbing
the first artifact to have been unearthed that was used in a water system in the ancient palace ruins in the Indus Valley
