Stock Your Truck With These 7 Residential Plumbing Parts
Owning a home usually means an eventual plumbing problem, and when a homeowner calls a plumber, they expect the professional will show up with the necessary plumbing fittings and supply to make required repairs.
Great plumbers know that finding parts vetted through a supply house ensures quality. To effectively stock their supply, buying the high quantity of parts using the convenient bulk packaging options offered from a supply house enables consistent results in installation and repair projects.
While it’s not feasible for a plumber to stock all plumbing parts in their service truck, he or she can have an assortment of plumbing fittings, found at a great supply house, on hand that will allow for prompt repairs. Homeowners commonly call on a plumber to fix:
- Leaky faucets and pipes
- Drips around water lines
- Heating and air conditioning problems
Plumbers should always stock the following 7 residential plumbing parts:
①A Variety of Adaptors and Nipples
You’ll need male-female adaptors and some of the more popular nipple sizes used to tie a pipe into home appliances. Have these on hand so you don’t have to make a run to a plumbing supply store in the middle of a job. Buy Now
②Elbows
You know it and we know it too! Chances are good you’ll use a lot of elbows. We have 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch PEX crimp elbows at a price you’ll be happy with. Buy Now
③Barb Fittings
Fixing water leaks quickly, especially if it’s an after-hours call, means stopping the flow of water, either hot or cold. With a supply of 1/2 and 3/4 inch barb fittings in both plastic and brass, you’ll be able to do just that.
④Standard Tees
Specialty PEX fittings are a necessity for modern plumbers, and one of the most valuable fittings available is the standard ECO BRONZEⓇ lead-free crimp tee in both 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch sizes.
