3. Water Heater A water heater is essential for delivering hot water throughout the home. Common types include tank, tankless, gas, and electric. Regular maintenance ensures efficient operation and a longer lifespan.

4. Faucet Faucets control water flow in sinks, showers, and bathtubs. Popular designs include compression, ball, and cartridge faucets. Keeping faucets in good condition prevents leaks and water waste.

5. Drain Drains carry away waste and water from sinks, tubs, and showers. Blockages or slow drainage are common problems caused by hair, grease, or debris. Regular cleaning and care can prevent clogs.

6. Shutoff Valve The shutoff valve controls water supply to fixtures like sinks, toilets, and water heaters. Knowing how to locate and operate these valves is crucial during emergencies to prevent flooding.

7. Sewer Line Sewer lines transport waste away from homes to the municipal sewer system. Tree roots, blockages, or broken pipes can lead to sewer backups. Regular inspections help detect potential issues early.

8. P-Trap The P-Trap is the U-shaped pipe beneath sinks that prevents foul odors from escaping the drain system. It traps a small amount of water that blocks sewer gases from entering the home.

9. Backflow Preventer A device installed in a plumbing system to prevent water from flowing backward into the drinking water supply, ensuring water safety.

10. Sump Pump A pump used to remove accumulated water from a sump basin, commonly found in basements. Helps prevent flooding in low areas.

11. Pipe Insulation Material wrapped around pipes to reduce heat loss, prevent freezing, and increase energy efficiency in plumbing systems.

12. Anode Rod A sacrificial rod inside a water heater that helps prevent corrosion of the tank, extending its lifespan.

13. Check Valve A valve that allows water to flow in only one direction, preventing backflow and maintaining proper water pressure.

14. Ball Valve A valve with a spherical disc that controls water flow, often used in residential plumbing systems for shutoff.

15. Water Pressure Regulator A valve that reduces the incoming water pressure to a safe level, protecting your household plumbing from high pressure.
