Q: Is pipefitting considered plumbing?

• <div><p>Even though their jobs sound similar&mdash;both professions work on pipes&mdash;a plumber and pipefitter actually have very different jobs, and pipefitting isn&rsquo;t considered plumbing. Pipefitting is done in commercial and industrial buildings and factories, and the pipes carry gas, chemicals, acid, and other potentially hazardous substances. Pipefitters often work in intense conditions while plumbers may work in lower-pressure environments.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert my electric stove to gas myself?

• <div><p>No, most homeowners don't have the skills and experience required to convert their electric stove to gas on their own. You must hire an electrician and a licensed gas plumber for the conversion. This job requires swapping out the existing 240-volt outlet for a 110-volt outlet and may also involve installing or extending an existing gas line.</p></div>

Q: Is pipe measured by ID or OD?

• <div><p>In North America, pipe measurements are listed as the nominal pipe size (NPS). This measurement refers to the outside diameter. As an example, a 1/2-inch copper pipe has an outside diameter of 5/8 of an inch. If a hardware store lists a pipe as having a 2 NPS, it means that all the pipes with this measurement have a 2 ⅜-inch outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness and inside diameter.</p></div>

Q: Is pipefitting harder than plumbing?

• <div><p>Pipefitting is a more specialized profession, and pipefitters work with complex systems and low- and high-pressure pipes, so it can be considered harder than plumbing. Though each profession comes with its challenges, the nature of pipefitting requires working with heavier materials in fast-paced and dangerous environments, which can be more challenging than working on residential and commercial plumbing systems.</p></div>

Q: Are there standard pipe sizes?

• <div><p>Yes. There are a variety of standard pipe sizes used in plumbing. The main supply line connecting your home to the street is either 3/4 or 1 inch in diameter. Supply lines are 3/4 inch in diameter. Individual components are 1/2 inch in diameter. Meanwhile, your main drainpipe is often 4 inches wide. Most shower and bathtub drains are 2 inches in diameter, most toilet drains are 3 inches in diameter, and most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sink-drain-pipe-size.htm">sink drainpipes</a> are 1 1/4 or 1 &frac12; inches in diameter.</p></div>

We are totally 100% satisfied and our gas bill went down by $40.00. They gave us a good price and were out in a day and a half. They call every now and then to see how things are going and how the furnace is running.

The contractors were very professional and very knowledgeable. They had to do some adjustments to the plumbing and gas lines due to the limited space. I am very satisfied with this insulation.
