   The pilot light is no longer used in new devices, but may still be encountered on old appliances still in service. [1] Pilot lights were withdrawn because their continual small flame represented a waste of fuel. [1] Pilot lights required their own FSD, typically a thermocouple which held the valve open. [2]

4. Low-flow fixtures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-flow_fixtures

   Leaking fixtures can contribute to significant water waste. According to the EPAs WaterSense, a leaky faucet that drips at a rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. [21] Old and worn out rubber valve seals in a toilet tank can lead to significant leaks causing the toilet to refill constantly. Some leaky ...

5. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

   This is called a "globe valve" in engineering and, while it gives a leak-proof seal and good fine adjustment of flow, both the rubber washer and the valve seat are subject to wear (and for the seat, also corrosion) over time, so that eventually no tight seal is formed in the closed position, resulting in a leaking tap. The washer can be ...

6. Gas lighter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighter

   The lighter is wired in such a way that this whole voltage is applied in a small region of air gap between two metallic points. Due to high voltage generated, the air is ionized and acts as a path for the discharge. This electric discharge is the spark which when exposed to the combustible gas from the stove ignites it to produce flame.

7. Gas leak - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_leak

   A gas leak refers to a leak of natural gas or another gaseous product from a pipeline or other containment into any area where the gas should not be present. Gas leaks can be hazardous to health as well as the environment. Even a small leak into a building or other confined space may gradually build up an explosive or lethal gas concentration. [1]

8. Air gap (plumbing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_gap_(plumbing)

   This "air gap" is visible above the sink as a small cylindrical fixture mounted near the faucet. In the base cabinet under the sink, the drain hose from the dishwasher feeds the "top" of the air gap, and the "bottom" of the air gap is plumbed into the sink drain below the basket, or into a garbage disposal unit. When installed and maintained ...

9. Sink - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sink

   A bottom mount sink at the Ernest Hemingway House. Bottom-mount or under-mount sinks are installed below the countertop surface. The edge of the countertop material is exposed at the hole created for the sink (and so must be a carefully finished edge rather than a rough cut). The sink is then clamped to the bottom of the material from below.
