The plumbing systems in all houses are adapted and modified according to the needs of the families that live there. The plumbing system in a kitchen is no exception as it too goes through changes depending on how it is used. Kitchen plumbing systems usually have two main plumbing fixtures connected directly to the main plumbing drain, these being the water supply lines for both hot and cold water as well as a waste pipe that carries away any water accidentally spilled during washing up or cooking. Kitchen plumbing supplies mainly consist of pipes connecting these three fixtures but there may also be other minor plumbing supplies such as taps and hoses if these are needed. A hot and cold plumbing supply ensures that no matter what temperature you need your sink faucet will provide this regardless of the plumbing. The plumbing supply pipes are generally PVC plumbing or galvanized plumbing as these can withstand high temperatures when compared to other materials used for plumbing. The waste plumbing is also made from steel, steel plumbing being adaptable and flexible enough to connect with any shape of waste plumbing fixture. There are many different configurations kitchen plumbing systems may have depending on whether the sink has a single faucet or multiple ones and if it has separate taps for hot and cold water. Sinks that have two separate taps usually have an internal swivel joint fitted underneath the countertop which enables both hot and cold water to run through a single pipe up to where they join together in a three-way swivel joint just beneath the surface of the countertop. This plumbing configuration is referred to as a single-handle plumbing system. Dishwashers are usually found in kitchens which means that plumbing fixtures such as sinks, faucets, drains need to be insulated.
