| Now in its third edition, Plumbing Technology: Design and Installation is an informative book by Lee Smith that stresses good solid plumbing practice applicable to all areas and plumbing materials. Plumbing Technology uses information from four major national plumbing codes, including the International Plumbing Code and the Uniform Plumbing Code, and numerous regional codes to provide a broad based experience for the reader. The book is divided into units, each with its own set of objectives. A summary is provided at the end of most chapters to enhance and review important points. Review questions at the end of the chapters give you an opportunity to test your knowledge. The units are organized into seven sections: Basic Knowledge, Threaded Pipe, Waste Systems, Heating Water, Special Cases, and Fixture Installation.
Thoroughly updated with the assistance of master plumbers, the third edition of Plumbing Technology: Design and Installation introduces readers to all aspects of the commercial and residential plumbing trade, including home building. Each unit also contains new and improved summaries, plus "Test Your Understanding" quizzes to clarify and reinforce more difficult concepts. Projects located throughout the book provide opportunities for hands-on plumbing practice and actual application of concepts so readers gain a clear understanding of plumbing design and installation. |
