Plumbing fittings come in all sizes, and to make sure you have the right fitting for the job, you need to measure the pipe you are working on. Just because you are working on plumbing for your entire home does not mean that all the pipes will be the same size.

Fittings in the kitchen and bathroom sinks will most likely be smaller than those in the shower or washing machine.
