UNKNOWN PLUMBING FACTS!

Where did the fire sprinkler system start?

The first fire sprinkler system was invented by a British man named Sir William Congreve. He placed pipes along the ceiling of a building and installed a valve on the outside, in case of fire you would have to manually go outside and turn the valve on.

UNKNOWN PLUMBING FACTS!
Ever wonder what the different-looking plungers are for?

There are two different main types of plungers
1) a toilet plunger
2) a sink/shower plunger.

The toilet plunger is narrow at the bottom so it can fit into a toilet.
The sink/shower plungers are flat for easier access.

UNKNOWN PLUMBING FACTS!

Ever wonder why potholes are circular as opposed to square?

This is a much-debated question. In fact, Microsoft used to ask interviewees this question so they could speculate on their thinking capabilities.

Some answers include:

Holes are round, so it was the easiest to make the covers round. Safety; a round manhole cover, unlike a square one, will not fall back through its opening if rotated. A square cover, by contrast, could potentially fall through its opening if rotated diagonally.

These are all just speculation, though...
What do you think the answer is?

Where did the names ' the john' and 'the crapper' come from?

Do not pour grease/oil down the drain!

It seems like it shouldn't be a problem, but it can cause you disastrous plumbing issues down the line.
The grease and oil build-up and stick to the sides of your piping.

Did you know this already?

Water pressure is an easy and important way to verify your plumbing status. The average household's water pressure should be under 80 psi.

For high-rise buildings, pumps are used to carry the H2O into water tanks on the highest floor. This ensures that water is distributed across all floors without ruining the water pressure.

High water pressure is one of the main causes of water-related accidents in all types of buildings, especially in smart homes.

Every building/home has a water shut-off valve.

It is important to locate and keep track of where they are.

Waiting until your house starts flooding to try to locate the valve can result in amplified damage.

Typically you can find the shutoff valve by going around the perimeter of your house and checking spots closest to the street as the main water lines are coming into your home from the street.

The cheapest way to deal with plumbing is to take preventative measures before the problem occurs.

Ensure that everything is installed correctly. Loose pipes and improper installation of plumbing tramps are the most common damages to buildings.

Make sure to set up regular checkups to guarantee fewer issues.

If your sink/ toilet is leaking, hiring a cheap plumber to come "mend it" will often result in flooding in the near future and damaging nearby objects.
