Different Types of Fixtures
There are different types of fixtures, and each of them is used in different parts of homes and industries; let’s see some of the most common types of fixtures:
- One of the common types of fixtures is “milling,” which is usually mounted on machining tables.
- Another type is called “boring fixtures,” which connect the principles of drill jigs.
- “Turning fixtures” are mostly mounted on the machine spindle during the turning operations.
- “Electrical fixtures” are another type that includes switches, junction boxes, electrical outlets, etc.
- Industrial lighting or fixtures such as conveyor belt systems.
- “Security fixtures” include window locks, cameras, and door handles.
- “Plumbing fixtures” like sinks, toilets, showers, etc.
These are a few common fixtures found in every home and environment. Note that fixtures can vary in design, function, and complexity.
Therefore, you should know the proper installation and maintenance to ensure they work properly, which we will discuss later on.

How to Install a Plumbing Fixture
Before we go any further, let me mention that installing fixtures depends on what kind of fixture you want to install, which can be a toilet, sink, bathtub, or shower.
Therefore, there is no unique way to explain installing plumbing fixtures step by step. However, I am going to discuss the general steps you need to take to install most plumbing fixtures:
Step 1- Fix the installation area
The first thing you need to do is fix and prepare the area for installation to ensure it’s the right place and that the sink, bathtub, or any other plumbing feature you want to install looks good and is fixed.
Saying so, you should also ensure that you turn off the water supply to where you want to work.
Step 2- Clean up the surface
This phase is pretty important, so scrub any dirt off the sink before installation. Note that you must take this step whether you want to install or replace a fixture.
Step 3- Set up the deck plate
As you may know, most plumbing fixtures and faucets come with a deck plate; thus, you should install it at this step.
Step 4- Attach the water supply lines
While installing the faucet, use a screwdriver to attach the water supply lines to it; you should insert the supply lines through the hole in the deck plate.
Note that you may have to cut and join pipes to ensure they are securely connected and will work properly.
Step 5- Set up the shut-off valves
Now, you need to assemble the hot and cold mixing valves. I am pretty sure that you know that the hot and cold valves are left and right.
Then, install the hot and cold water supply lines to the shut-off valves and tighten them as much as you can until they are securely fixed.
Step 6- Install the drain pop-up
Keep in mind that the pop-up mechanism is a part of the sink drain tailpiece, so you must remove the existing drain tailpiece before installing the new one.
After that, you should push the lift rod into the hole in the spout and attach it to the pivot rod using a spring clip and an extension rod.
Step 7- Finish installation
Once you finish assembling all sections, you can install the sink or whatever fixture you want to complete the process.
Step 8- Test the fixture
You finished the installation and should see if it works properly. To do so, you need to turn on the water and see if everything works properly.
