Plumbing: Basics

The "Plumbing Basics" video explains the different types of plumbing piping and the joining methods used for each type. Plastic, steel, and copper pipes are discussed, including the varying temperature ratings and plumbing code approvals for PVC and CPVC plastic pipes. Joining methods such as threading for steel pipes and sweating or swaging for copper pipes are also explained, with both requiring soldering or brazing for a strong joint. Health and safety must always be considered during installation, and proper precautions should be taken by the installers.
