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.
