One of the most underrated plumbing accessories out there is the hose clamp. Without a doubt, plumbing lines and pipes need to be lined up perfectly for your system to work as it should. As such, finding the perfect black hose clamps to fit your lines is essential. Additionally, you are also going to want waterproof tape, or plumbers tape. This makes it easy to patch leaks until you are ready to complete any repairs. Finally, always have a towel by your side. Your area will inevitably get wet during your project, so make cleanup quick by always having 1-2 towels on deck.
