    d) Call Martin Willes when you have a question
    a) Don’t eat with your hands
    In the end, preventing disease comes down to one simple idea: clean it no matter what. Your clothes, your equipment, and your truck; it’s better to be safe than sick. Following this simple rule protects you from most cross-contamination: Wash your hands; wash your hands; wash your hands. Wash with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking, using the bathroom, touching your skin or after any contact with contaminants.

a) Readily accessible

c) Limited to first-floor installations
d) Supported

All flexible water connections are required to be accessible.
This means that they can be concealed in a cabinet or behind an access panel, but they must be accessible.

3) Why should you close the drain while taking a faucet apart?
To keep small parts from falling down it
You don’t need water in the basin, and if your trap is fine, sewer gas can’t come up. But believe us, some of those smaller parts can slip out of your fingers and right down the drain. Better to have the drain cover closed than to take the trap apart looking for them.

4) What animal can help you with plumbing work?
A Snake

5) A machine or appliance must both take in water from the supply system and discharge wastewater to be a _______.
Fixture
To be a fixture, a machine or appliance must both take in water from the supply system and discharge wastewater. The water heater doesn’t do this, though it is closely related to the house’s plumbing system, and some plumbers might feel comfortable helping you do maintenance to it.

You know I’ll be your slave
