Getting Water To The Fixtures: The Supply Lines

Mr Rooter Getting Water To The Fixtures

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) August 25, 2012 -- “Supplying a bathroom with hot and cold water is much easier than running pipes for wastes and drains,” says Bob Beall, president of Mr Rooter Plumbing. The supply lines need not be pitched, because the water in them is under pressure, according to the most referred plumber in the Northeast Ohio and Southwest Pennsylvania regions.

Household plumbing supply lines under pressure will move in any direction; with Ts, elbows and angled fittings–run around corners, ducts and other obstacles. Beall’s advice is to avoid what plumbers call “trapping the line”, that is, “running the pipes in a U shape that can trap water when you drain the system for repairs or for winter months when a summer place is empty.”
