Yes, modular piping systems are a defining part of construction’s future, especially for large-scale projects. They move critical fabrication work from the chaotic construction site

That mismatch taught me that true water conservation starts with the connections you can’t see. Fittings are the critical, hidden network in water conservation systems. They ensure efficient water delivery by minimizing pressure loss and preventing leaks, they
