What Are Plumbing Fixtures?

Plumbing fixtures are the essential components that deliver and drain water throughout your home or building. They include everything from faucets and sinks to bathtubs, showers, and toilets. While they may seem simple, proper installation of these fixtures is crucial to prevent leaks, ensure water efficiency, and maintain the safety and functionality of your plumbing system.

Unlike plumbing appliances (such as water heaters or dishwashers), fixtures are directly tied to the flow and drainage of water at specific use points. Litteken Plumbing installs and services all major types of plumbing fixtures.

Types of Fixtures

  • Water Supply Fixtures: Faucets, hose bibs, pot fillers, showerheads, bidets
  • Drainage Fixtures: Sinks, bathtubs, floor drains
  • Sanitary Fixtures: Toilets, urinals, utility sinks
  • Specialty Fixtures: Commercial-grade sinks, ADA-compliant faucets, foot-pedal operated valves

Understanding the role each fixture plays in your plumbing system helps identify when something needs to be upgraded or repaired.

We offer expert plumbing fixture installation for both new construction and renovations, ensuring every component is installed securely and performs reliably from day one.

Bathroom Fixture Installation

Our team ensures all fixtures are mounted securely, sealed properly, and connected to the appropriate hot and cold supply lines and drainage systems. We can also advise on water-saving products and ADA-compliant upgrades.

Toilets – Bidets – Vanity Sinks – Faucets – Showerheads – Tub Spouts – Shower Valves – Diverters – Bathtubs (standard and jetted)

Utility & Specialty Fixtures

These often-overlooked fixtures play critical roles in cleaning, maintenance, and workplace operations. We ensure they’re installed for heavy-duty use with proper drainage and overflow controls.

Fixture Tune-Ups

Over time, even well-installed fixtures need adjustments. We offer maintenance services that include flushing sediment, replacing washers and cartridges, and resealing joints to extend the life of your existing fixtures.

Emergency Repairs

While we don’t advertise 24/7 emergency services, we do prioritize urgent repairs during regular hours and can often accommodate same-day service for leaking or broken fixtures.

Water Efficiency

Many new fixtures use up to 60% less water than older models. We can recommend and install WaterSense-certified products that help lower utility bills while supporting sustainability.

Fixture Aesthetics

Fixtures play a huge role in the look and feel of your space. A well-chosen and properly installed faucet or tub can become a visual focal point, enhancing both comfort and resale value.

Signs It’s Time to Replace or Upgrade Fixtures

  • Dripping faucets or constantly running toilets
  • Rust stains, mineral buildup, or corrosion
  • Difficulty turning handles or flushing
  • Outdated design or inefficient water usage
  • Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom
  • Preparing a home for sale or rental
Other Red Flags
  • Strange noises like squealing or banging when the water turns on
  • Sudden drop in water pressure
  • Discoloration in water flow from faucets

We’ll help assess whether repair or full replacement is the better long-term solution.
