Plumbers plan, install and service plumbing systems, fixtures, piping equipment and controls. These piping systems may be used to transport water, waste, gases or hot liquids. Plumbers are required to study building plans and specifications to determine the layout for the plumbing and other materials, locate and mark the positions for connections and fixtures, cut holes through walls and floors to accommodate pipes, select the type and size of pipe required and measure, cut, thread, bend, clamp and solvent cement or solder pipe.
