From the Preface
This is the second in a series of four plumbing textbooks suitable for training in an industry or academic setting. The content has been selected and organized to suit students and trainees who have had at least one year of formal or on-the-job training. The subject matter progresses on the assumption that students are applying what they learn in a school shop or field environment.

In addition to the new full-color format, the Fifth Edition has been updated to reflect the latest methods, components, codes, and standards. Many illustrations have been added to help readers grasp concepts more completely. The examples have been reworked to show a more logical step-by-step process. The section on welding has been vastly improved and updated. Finally, there are new field applications and revised safety information.

The curriculum that supports this book and the content itself have been developed and approved by the PHCC Educational Foundation Plumbing Apprentice and Journeyman Training Committee. The committee has endeavored to respond to industry demands for training material best suited to a field-oriented program. It is the combination of classroom and field experience that the committee wishes to promote throughout the industry.
