What happens here

Protect exposed plumbing pipes by covering them. This can be done using cardboard tubes or other suitable materials, secured with tape. Covering pipes helps prevent them from being damaged or getting debris inside during other construction phases. It also ensures that plumbers can easily identify hot and cold water lines if labels are covered.

Goal: Shield plumbing pipes from damage and maintain identification of hot/cold lines.

Tools and materials

  • Cardboard Tubes — Wrapping around plumbing pipes for protection
  • Tape — Securing the protective coverings onto the pipes
