   wherein said leading tube includes a second end connected to a respective lead connector of a respective port of said second plurality of ports and said water conducting tube is also passed through said respective port and said leading tube,   wherein said water conducting tube includes a second end connected to said tubing connector of said second connection box.   
     
     
         5 . The plumbing system according to  claim 2 , wherein the connections to the end units are water tight. 
     
     
         6 . The plumbing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the leading tube is built into a wall, floor, or ceiling of a structure, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The plumbing system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a valve configured for opening and closing a connection through said junction between at least two of said plurality of tubing adapters. 
 
     
     
         8 . The plumbing system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an inlet tube with a cutoff switch.   
     
     
         9 . The plumbing system of  claim 1 , wherein said sealed casing includes a drainage port with a drainage tube. 
     
     
         10 . The plumbing system of  claim 1 , further comprising a sensor. 
     
     
         11 . A method for installing a plumbing fitting comprising:
 installing a leading tube into a structure;   connecting a proximal end of the leading tube to a port on the outside of a plumbing connection box;   passing a water conducting tube through the leading tube such that a proximal end of the water conducting tube protrudes through said port into plumbing connection box; and   attaching a proximal end of the water conducting tube to a junction inside the plumbing connection box.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said installing is into at least one of a wall, a ceiling and a floor of the structure. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 attaching a distal end of said water conducting tube to an end unit.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein said end unit is selected from at least one of plumbing connection box, a casing, a bathroom fixture, a bathroom fitting, a kitchen fixture, a kitchen fitting, a tap, a cooling system, a heating system, a fire control system, a garden water supply system, a drainage system, a wall mounted cut off valve and a main water supply network. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 connecting a second said respective leading tube to a second port;   passing a second water conducting tube through said second port and said second leading tube and   connecting a proximal end of said second water conducting tube to said water conducting tube via said junction.   
     
     
         16 . A method for repairing a leaking water conducting tube passing through a leading tube comprising:
 turning off water supply to the leaking water conducting tube;   disconnecting the leaking water conducting tube;   drawing the leaking water conducting tube out of the leading tube;   passing a new water conducting tube through the leading tube;   connecting the new water conducting tube; and   turning on water supply to the new water conducting tube.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein a proximal end of said leading tube connected to a port of a plumbing connection box and said disconnecting includes disconnecting a distal end of said leaking water conducting tube from an end unit and disconnecting a proximal end of said leaking water conducting tube from a junction inside a connection box. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein said drawing includes drawing said distal end of said leaking water conducting tube through said leading tube and out said port into said junction box. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein said passing includes passing a distal end of said new water conducting tube through said from said junction box through said port and said through leading tube.
