Plumbing tools

So you've seen a plumber work, you know roughly what they're doing (hopefully) - but what are those fancy working implements they use? Well, wonder no more. Before you get in touch with the most appropriate local plumber, it's probably a good idea to familiarise yourself with plumbing and gasfitting implements & working practices. Whilst all tools in construction and finishing processes are highly specific to the task, plumbing tools particularly are mostly unique to the task.

Types of plumbing tools

Plumbers, gasfitters & drainage experts use all sorts of specialist equipment, particularly if contractors specialise in two or more of these services. Tools they use might include:

• Pipe Wrenches
• Adjustable Wrenches
• Rib Joint Pliers.
• Locking Pliers
• Hacksaws
• Screwdrivers
• Pipe Cutters
• Measuring tape
• Pipe Fitters

If you require more detailed information on apparatus used by plumbing professionals, check with your relevant plumbing association. These institutions can also help you if you're interested in taking up training or apprenticeships in the plumbing profession.
