Plumbing Fixture & Pipe Maintenance Guide
- Regular Inspections
1.Check for leaks: Examine steel pipe nipples, joints, and valves for moisture or corrosion.
2.Monitor water pressure: Excess pressure (≥80 PSI) can damage fittings—install a pressure regulator if needed.
3.Inspect exposed pipes: Look for rust, cracks, or bulges in metal/plastic pipes.
- Prevent Clogs & Build-Up
1.Drain cleaning: Use enzymatic cleaners monthly for organic buildup (avoid harsh chemicals on PVC).
2.Strainers: Install mesh strainers on drains to catch debris.
3.Water softeners: In hard water areas, descale faucets/showerheads quarterly with vinegar soaks.
