I quite like coppersmith but apparently it exists as the name for someone who makes tat from old copper.

Of all the suggestions, I think that by far the best is - - - - - >

PIPER

This is descriptive of nearly all work done by plumbers eg gas pipes, water pipes, drain pipes, downpipes.

It is gender-free.

It is a nice word, on a par with brickies and sparks etc.

It amazes me that there has never been a word for plumbers. The question is, how can we "change the world" and introduce this word into common use, and would you want this anyway?

 

[Mike Jackson]

Why not just call us plumbers or heating engineers or gas fitters. Us professionals are not insecure enough to need some quaint nickname like the lesser trades.

 

[CMairiD]

Dunno about the plumbers, but at the heating firm I apprenticed with we had the following:

Pipe stranglers = the wet boys
Service monkeys = the service engineers
Phil & Vent = repairs engineers

 

[Guest123]

Is this what this forum has now come down to? 80 posts about nick names for plumbers? What a load of cack.
