Plumbing
Elbows and bends used to change the directions.
Bends are in different angles but elbows are only in 90 and it has a

change.

Bends can be used in smooth floor.

Tees are used to distribute two ways at once.
Reducers or enlargers are used to change the speed of the water.
Water services should be measured under plumbing, if it is below or

ground.

End caps are use to close the pipes.
