Water Pipes

Recommended Posts

hi,

heard from my dad that its good to install a stop valve to every water pipes running in your house. In case when one of the pipes burst or one of your tap is leaking, you will not need to turn off the water supply for the whole house. What do u call those valve? do u guys install?

same same, patrick did stop valves for all my water outlets :(

think it's just called a stop valve???

Ironically, this valve is called "stop c-o-c-k".

Yes, don't laugh....I know....I was like "Huh? Really ah?" when my plumber told me the name of such valve. :D:D

wahahha...actually there are a lot of funny "names" in the contractor industry due to poor command of English (dont mean to laugh at their lousy English, some of them live in semiD with oversized bmws)

Tee Nar = thinner (paint)

Ah -See- tone = acetone (paint)

wash kar cheng shsplay = billet :(

toilet seat cover = jam bun kua(cover)

flow water , run water = gradient(slope in toilet so that water flows to the floortrap)
