A yoke in plumbing is typically a brass or metal casting that holds both the hot and cold water lines in position under a fixture, such as a sink or bathtub. It helps maintain the alignment of the supply lines, ensuring a secure and organized connection to the fixture. Yokes provide stability, preventing movement or shifting of the pipes, which could lead to leaks or damage over time. Proper installation of yokes, including secure fastening and leak-proof connections, ensures reliable water supply and fixture performance.
