Good book -- especially venting
I needed this book to help figure out a complex venting issue and it served the purpose well. Allowed me to avoid hiring a plumber at considerable expense. Would recommmend.
Great information for the practical
Lots of comprehensive, practical information for a serious DIY'er! Most of the more advanced plumbing books are textbooks and code guides aimed at people trying to pass tests, not at people trying to actually build something. This is the book that explained the logic of when to use sweep vs. normal bends, and shows several detailed diagrams of how to arrange specific fittings to drain and vent fixtures in different ways, depending on layout.
It could use an update, as it doesn't even mention PEX water supply piping and talks a lot about cast iron DWV. Fortunately, PEX isn't rocket science and a good waste system is the same configuration, no matter what material you choose.
The best Plumbing book I've ever bought
Definitive, this is the best book I've bought. It explain best about service piping, vents, how to, materials, etc. I trully hghly recommend this great value book. Thanks very much Peter Hemp.
I'm a plumber from PR (a small caribeen Island - USA terrritory) and it also surpass all PR plumbing books.
If anyone is willing to learn, get this book!
