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

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