Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications.

Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids.

Heating and cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications.

The word derives from the Latin for lead, plumbum, as the first effective pipes used in the Roman era were lead pipes.

Bathing is the washing of the body with a fluid, usually water or an aqueous solution, or the immersion of the body in water.

A tap (also spigot or faucet: see ) is a valve controlling the release of a liquid or gas.

Nomenclature.

A sink—also known by other names including sinker, washbowl, hand basin and wash basin—is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture used for washing hands, dishwashing, and other purposes.

Sinks have taps (faucets) that supply hot and cold water and may include a spray feature to be used for faster rinsing.

They also include a drain to remove used water; this drain may itself include a strainer and/or shut-off device and an overflow-prevention device.

Sinks may also have an integrated soap dispenser.

A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation in a dwelling or in a commercial establishment.

In the West, a modern residential kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator, counters and kitchen cabinets arranged according to a modular design.

Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other electric appliances.

The main function of a kitchen is serving as a location for storing, cooking and preparing food (and doing related tasks such as dishwashing), but it may also be used for dining, entertaining and laundry.
