plumbing fixtures

Tubs and toilets

Plumbing fixtures are the functional endpoints of a building's water system—the sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, and similar devices where water is delivered or drained.

The term distinguishes these visible, usable components from the hidden pipes and valves that supply them.

In real estate and construction, fixture counts often appear in property descriptions: The house has two full baths and a half bath, for a total of seven plumbing fixtures.
