Plumbing

I’ve replaced toilets, cleaned drains, and

fixed leaks, but the

words I’ve heard baffle me;

is an automatic compensation valve

an ADA-compliant device?

Do pressure-balancing valves

manage pressure-assisted toilets?

 

Or maybe none of these devices are used in tandem.

 

I know potable water

flows through brass faucets,

but do PVD finishes relate to

PVC pipes?

 

Do flush valves regulate

dual- and metered-flushes?

Or do flush valves have nothing to do with specialized toilets?

 

 

 

Speaking of toilets, are

high-efficiency toilets

and urinals

gravity-fed or low-flow?

 

Can thermostatic valves prevent thermal shock

to copper, lead, and plastic pipes,

if pipes even face such injuries?

The answer, I don’t know.

 

Maybe I shouldn’t do as much plumbing

as I do.
