LESSON 2 – PLUMBING TOOLS AND MATERIALS

At the end of the lesson, the learners should have:

1. Defined and identified the common tools and materials used in plumbing.
2. Determined the different pipe sizes and fittings.

1. From the life experiences you had may it be in school or at your home, how would you
describe a tool as an aid in completing your tasks?
2. Why is it necessary for you to learn the different tools & materials used in plumbing?

1. Define tools and materials. How would it help you in your chosen field of specialization?
2. Choosing appropriate materials to be used in a specific job is important. Why do you
think it is?

1. Observe the plumbing system at home, in your barangay, or in the school premises. List
down the used pipes, fittings and the sizes that can be found there. Use the table below
in answering this task.
