has a male end (same size as pipe) on one
side and a female end (pipe fits inside
this size) on the other side.
THERMOSTATIC VALVE: A pressure balancing shower mixing

control. When temperature or pressure
fluctuations occur at the water inlets,
a thermal actuator adjusts the hot and
cold ratio to maintain the original
temperature setting.
TRAP: A curved section of drain line that
prevents sewer odors from escaping into
the atmosphere. All "fixtures" that
have drains must have a "P" trap
installed. A toilet is the only plumbing
fixture that has an "S" trap instead of
a "P" trap.
