Division 22 plumbing fixture supply on a Texas multifamily project covers procurement, delivery, and site logistics for the fixtures and trim kits that the licensed plumbing sub connects. Kitchen sinks, bath sinks, shower pans, tub surrounds, faucet trim kits, showerhead trim kits, and accessory trim kits are the typical scope. The licensed plumbing sub makes the rough plumbing connections and the final fixture connections. The Division 22 supply sub ensures that the right fixtures arrive to the right floors at the right time for the plumbing sub’s trim-out schedule.
On large Texas multifamily projects, the scale creates fixture supply logistics that smaller markets do not face in the same form. A 250-unit DFW project with multiple unit types requires procurement of three to five different sink models, two to four different faucet trim kits, and multiple shower pan sizes, all in quantities that require careful inventory management and phased delivery to avoid storage problems on a constrained construction site.
Trim kit compatibility with the Texas licensed plumbing sub
The most common Division 22 procurement error on Texas multifamily projects is ordering faucet and showerhead trim kits before confirming compatibility with the valve bodies the licensed plumbing sub is installing. Trim kits are valve-specific. A Moen trim kit does not fit a Delta valve body. A Kohler trim kit does not fit a Price Pfister valve body. Ordering trim kits before confirming the valve brand and model is a near-certain path to incompatible hardware that must be returned and reordered, with the delivery delay that entails.
Before placing any trim kit order on a Texas multifamily project, the Division 22 sub should receive the valve brand and model from the licensed plumbing sub for each application: kitchen faucet valve, bath faucet valve, shower valve, and tub spout location. This information should come from the plumbing sub’s approved submittal, not from a verbal discussion. Confirm in writing, then order.
In Texas markets where the licensed plumbing sub is selected separately from the interior finishes sub, the GC must facilitate this coordination. If the Division 22 supply sub and the licensed plumbing sub are not in direct communication before procurement, the GC absorbs the consequences of a compatibility problem at installation.
Sink cutout coordination on Texas projects
The Division 22 supply sub must provide the sink model number and the manufacturer’s cutout template to the countertop fabricator before countertops are fabricated. Sink cutout dimensions are specific to each sink model, and a countertop fabricated without the correct cutout cannot be corrected in the field without risking the stone. The correction requires refabrication, which adds two weeks to the countertop delivery schedule.
On large Texas projects with multiple unit types specifying different sink models by unit type, the countertop fabricator needs cutout templates for each sink model before fabricating countertops for each unit type. The Division 22 sub must organize and deliver this information by unit type, not as a single submittal that applies to all units.
On Innergy projects where Division 12 and Division 22 are both our scope, this coordination is internal. On projects where the two scopes are split, the GC must confirm that the cutout information has been transmitted and received before authorizing fabrication.
Delivery logistics on large Texas projects
Large Texas multifamily projects, particularly in DFW and Houston, present fixture delivery challenges that smaller markets do not. A 250-unit project requires delivery of 250 kitchen sink packages, 250 to 500 bath sink packages depending on the bedroom mix, 250 shower pan or tub packages, and hundreds of trim kit boxes, phased to match the plumbing sub’s floor-by-floor trim-out schedule.
Delivering all fixtures at once to a construction site that does not have secure, climate-controlled storage for hundreds of fixture boxes creates theft, damage, and storage management problems. Delivery phasing, timed to the plumbing sub’s floor-by-floor schedule, distributes the delivery load across the project timeline and reduces the site storage requirement.
The Division 22 sub should provide a delivery schedule to the GC at the start of the project that phases fixture delivery by floor, aligned with the plumbing sub’s projected trim-out sequence. This schedule should be updated as the project schedule changes and should be communicated to the licensed plumbing sub so their trim-out planning is based on accurate delivery dates.
Hardware finish consistency across Texas Class A projects
Texas Class A multifamily projects in Austin, Dallas, and Houston increasingly specify coordinated hardware finish packages that cover cabinet pulls (Division 6), toilet accessories (Division 10), and plumbing fixture trim kits (Division 22) as a unified selection. Matte black, brushed gold, and polished chrome are common Class A finish packages across the Texas market.
The Division 22 sub must receive the hardware finish specification from the GC before ordering trim kits. On Innergy full-package projects where Divisions 6, 10, and 22 are all our scope, hardware finish coordination is internal. On projects where the three scopes are split across different subcontractors, the GC must distribute the finish specification to all three and confirm receipt before any scope places an order.
A trim kit ordered in brushed nickel when the project specifies matte black must be returned and reordered. The delivery delay is a schedule problem that compounds across the trim-out schedule if it is not caught early.
How Innergy handles Division 22 in Texas
Innergy covers plumbing fixture supply on Texas multifamily projects as part of our Division 22 scope under an active Texas TDLR contractor registration. We confirm trim kit compatibility with the licensed plumbing sub before ordering. We provide sink cutout templates to the countertop fabricator before fabrication. We phase delivery to match the plumbing sub’s trim-out schedule. We coordinate hardware finish against Division 6 and 10 specifications on full-package projects. For Division 22 as a standalone scope or as part of a full seven-division package in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, or El Paso, contact us and we respond within one business day.
