Original Plumbing also known as OP is a quarterly magazine focused on "the culture and lifestyle of transgender men."[1] The magazine was started in September 2009 in the Bay Area of San Francisco, California by editors-in-chief Amos Mac and Rocco Kayiatos. Original Plumbing is now published and distributed from Brooklyn, New York.[1]

The magazine's name refers to the term "original plumbing" as used by transgender people in Craigslist personal ads to indicate they have not had sex reassignment surgery.[2][3]

Original Plumbing's content includes advice, essays, interviews, and erotic/pornographic stories and photographs. Each issue is assigned a theme, such as "The Health and Safer Sex Issue", "The Bedroom Issue", "The Hair Issue", or "The Workin' Stiff Issue".[4]
