Your must be able to use the water. The water has to be turned on and off. The water flow rate has to be controlled. The water temperature needs to be adjusted. Plumbing fixtures accomplish these tasks.
Some fixtures have a one handle control.
Other fixtures have a separate control for hot and cold water. Some bathtub fixtures have additional controls to adjust whether the water comes out of the tub spout or shower head. Checking a plumbing fixture may seem relatively easy, but it is more than just seeing if the fixture either leaks or does not leak. Our engineers also check for flow rate problems, other functional problems, insufficient water pressure, and scalding hot water . Many prospective buyers feel this is an important piece of information that should be obtained at the inspection.
