A good emergency industrial plumbing supply should have the basics and more. If you need help building a kit for your business, use the recommendations in this guide.
A Bucket
A plastic five-gallon bucket serves two purposes. It can catch water when a pipe has a leak, and it can serve as a storage container for your tools.
Plumber’s Putty
You can buy good plumber’s putty at a local hardware store. This pliable compound will help you fix leaky pipes, faucets, and drains.
Washers
Old faucets with defective washer will leak. If you buy backup washers, you can use them to stop these leaks in an instant.
Duct Tape
Duct tape can fix minor leaks. If a pipe has a tear, you can patch it up very easily with a piece of duct tape.
You can only put duct tape on a dry pipe. If the pipe is damp, the tape won’t provide a firm seal.
Tools
There is a tool for every plumbing job. You should have these items in your tool kit:
- A pipe wrench
- A screwdriver set
- An adjustable wrench
- Slip-joint pliers
Plungers
A top-quality industrial plumbing supply isn’t complete without a set of plungers. The sink plunger is your standard plunger. It has a wooden handle and a flexible cup. A toilet plunger is for tougher jobs. It has a suction cup that fits strategically over the top of a toilet drain. An accordion plunger is harder than a regular toilet plunger. You can only use this plunger while it’s totally submerged underwater.
