I know all I need to know about plumbing,
Hot on the left
Cold on the right
Shit runs downhill
and, Don't bite your fingernails.
The rest is just details

Yeah, but knowing what a rag stuffed tight enough to seal a vent pipe does is enjoyable to contemplate.  Getting it done is the challenge.

Yes.


And also why toilet flush levers are on the side they are on (traditionally anyway...some fancy new ones are in the middle now).

No, why is hot almost always on the left ?
I've run across 1 or 2 "owner built" (read idiots delight) where that wasn't true.
Frame was a joke as well, studs 20 inches on center WTF ?
Bet TAB has seen some real abortions too. LOL

19th century plumbing was all cold water and since most of the population was right handed, it made sense to mount the pump on the right side of the sink basin.

When hot water became available, it was easier to put the hot on the left since the right side was already occupied.  Eventually it become national code..

Same for the flusher.......majority of folks are right-handed....original indoor toilets had high-mounted tanks above their heads with a pull-chain to flush. When sitting, the chain hung on the left side so as to be operated by pulling with the right hand. As toilets evolved, the flush mechanism stayed on the left, also to be operated via the right hand when sitting.
