fittings
Installed fixture components
Fittings are the fixtures, attachments, or accessories that complete something.
In plumbing and construction, fittings are the connectors joining pipes or wires: We need copper fittings for the bathroom renovation.
In British English, fittings often refers to detachable fixtures in a building—light fittings, bathroom fittings—as distinct from permanent fixtures.
A fitting is also a session where clothes are tried on and adjusted: She has a fitting for her wedding dress tomorrow.
