Your kitchen plumbing systems are composed of a number of different parts, each of which is necessary for the functionality of the system. These parts include the following:
Water Pipes
Your water pipes stretch across your whole house, from your kitchen to bathroom, and anywhere you need water, these pipes are hidden behind walls, underground, and in the ceiling. Most pipes are made out of copper, steel, and plastic. If anything goes wrong with your pipes it can be a bad day, from a burst pipe to a clogged pipe, it can interrupt your day, or worse, if you have a broken pipe it can cause flooding and cause you thousands of dollars worth of damage.
If you have a burst pipe, immediately turn off the main water valve to your house and call your local, trusted, and licensed plumber, or you can always Contact Us, all of our plumbers at 1-800-Plumber +Air of Salt Lake City hold the proper licenses so you don't have to worry about if the job is going to be completed correctly, we fix it right the first time.
Fittings
The fittings of the plumbing system make it so the pipes and water can get to where they need to go. Fittings connect different pipes allowing the water to travel throughout your house.
These are available in a variety of styles. There are tee fittings, wye fittings, cross fittings, coupling fittings, adapter fittings, bushing fittings, union fittings, and elbow fittings (to name just a few). Each of these was created to connect the pipes at certain angles, though these may be relatively small compared to pipes and such, they play a vital role in your plumbing system, if one of these fails, they can cause water leaks throughout your house, that is one of the many reasons it is important to get regular maintenance, so a plumber can catch it before it fails, hopefully saving you from having a burst pipe.
Fixtures
Fixtures are where the water comes out. They are your sinks, tub, showers, dishwasher, refrigerators, laundry machine, and any other appliance that uses water. All of the pipes and fittings lead to a fixture.
Drains
All water that flows into your house has to go somewhere safely, that is where your drains come in. Without drains and a sewer system, there would be no place for the used water to go.
When it comes to kitchen drainage, there are several drains available. These typically include sink drains, dishwasher drains, and refrigerator drains.
Gas Pipes
When you think of plumbers, you probably only think about water, but plumbers do a lot more than just unclogging sinks or toilets, they are also the ones that service, or install gas lines.
Gas lines can include natural gas, propane, and in some cases even oil. And for gas or any of those items to be transferred from place to place, you need pipes, fittings, and a fixture such as a stove or a fireplace.
If you believe you are experiencing a gas leak, leave the area immediately and get to safety before you call emergency services or a plumber.
