Whether you are building a new house or remodeling an old one,
master plumber Peter Hemp shows you the best ways to design, size
and install piping for water supply, wastes, fuel-gas supply and
vents. You'll learn how to cut and join copper, iron, galvanized
steel, various plastic pipes and even terra-cotta, and how to decide
which materials, products and tools to use and which to avoid.
In text, detailed technical drawings and black-and-white photos,
Hemp presents the code-sanctioned ways of solving tricky plumbing
problems and helps you decide which solution makes the most sense
for you.
