Plumbing Introduction
INTRODUCTION PLUMBING is considered as the art and science of installing pipes, fixtures and apparatus in buildings to convey water and other substances including the discharge of waste, water and other liquids, gasses and other ingredients affecting the health and sanitation of life and property. PLUMBER is the title given to a person who is a skilled worker in the field of sanitation, who fits and repairs the pipes and fixtures of a water system. It is a word derived from a Roman term Plumbarium which in turn was taken from the Latin word Plumbum meaning lead. Lead is a metal commonly used as a plumbing material and preferred for its twin properties of malleability and resistance to acid.
