The best plumbing supplies Brisbane has to offer (with Handy Tips)

Where to find the best line of plumbing supplies in Brisbane?

The question seems difficult. What about the range, quality and overall cost?

The answer is simple. 

Don’t trust your plumbing supplies with just anyone.

Getting all the supplies you want from one place is not as hard as you might think.

When it comes to bulk wholesale plumbing supplies, Brisbane has a big advantage. It’s now possible to get your hands on quality plumbing supplies at a huge cost saving.

Not all plumbing supplies in Brisbane are the same. 

You need to be careful when it comes to quality. It can mean the difference in saving yourself a lot of hassles and extra costs in the long run.

Getting a product at a low cost can come at a high price.

There’s cheap and nasty and then there’s straight out dangerous plumbing supplies in Brisbane and other cities throughout Australia.

The WA example

Just last year, there was an example of how cheap, low quality plumbing products raised great concern from the plumbing trade about the well-being of the wider community.

According to a report by the Sunday Times in WA, public health and safety is at risk by the flood of cheap taps and other non-compliant parts that can leach lead and other toxic metals into drinking water.

It went on to say that:
“Australia’s building industry and DIY market is awash with imported products that can be bought from hardware stores or online for a fraction of the cost of items that meet Australian standards.”

The alarm was raised by the WA Master Plumbers and Gasfitters Association and the Plumbing Products Industry Group (PPIG), which represents manufacturers and importers.

Plumbers in WA were concerned about the rise in defective parts, which don’t have the proper approval or certification to ensure products are safe and fit for purpose.

A massive loophole which allows hardware stores to sell taps and other plumbing products that do not meet the WaterMark certification was to blame. Plumbers risk penalties if they install these inferior products, that’s why they are demanding legislation that closes the loophole.

This is a warning that goes across Australia. Whether you’re looking to buy plumbing supplies in Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide or Hobart – make sure you only buy a product that is up to Australian standards. 

Added reasons to choose quality

Another reason to use high quality plumbing supplies is to protect your home. There is more than one reason not to use the same materials for every application. Certain materials hold up better than others when it comes to the amount of usage and stress. A water line from 80 years ago is probably not going to be replaced with another of the same material. 

Using cheaper materials and products may seem to be simpler and might save you some money initially, but that can be offset by the huge cost of water damages. It’s in the case of gas hot water installation and that things are more dire. Using poor quality materials in a gas water system may even put you and your family’s safety at risk. That is too high a price to pay.
