Plumbing fittings

Fittings control direction, branching and isolation. Material compatibility (PVC, CPVC, brass, stainless) and seal type (solvent, thread, compression) must match the pipe system.

• Direction changes and branches
• Isolation valves and cleanouts
• Transitions between materials
• Fixture connectors

• Match pressure/temperature ratings to the pipe system.
• Use thread sealants compatible with plastic threads.
• Support valves independently so weight does not stress joints.

A bathroom fitting schedule can rival pipe metre cost. Take-off from drawings before shopping.

Location rates move with freight, taxes and local supply. Figures below are planning context only — confirm before budgeting.

• Plumbing suppliers

  Piece rate

  Keep a labelled spare kit for concealed valves.

• Solvent-weld fittings

  For PVC/CPVC systems as rated.

• Threaded / brass valves

  Isolation and control; check plastic adapters.

• Flexible connectors

  Fixture tails — inspect braid and seal washers.

• PVC pipes
• CPVC pipes

• Buy from the same system family when solvent systems require it.
• Photograph concealed valve locations before tiling.
• Prefer full-bore valves where flow matters.

• PVC pipes

  Plastic pipes commonly used for soil, waste, vent and some water lines as permitted by design. Pressure rating and diameter are critical.

• CPVC pipes

  Chlorinated PVC systems often used for hot and cold potable water distribution within their rated temperatures and pressures.

• Waterproofing

  Systems that reduce water ingress in bathrooms, terraces, basements and exteriors. Product chemistry varies — follow system data sheets.
