Product Description

Review

Every collection needs good, basic books on home plumbing. This new edition of a standarad title covers modern materials and codes and offers a new section on gas pipes but otherwise contains the same text and same illustrations as previous editions...Though it covers familiar territory, it does so quite well.The illlustrations are clear and nively placed, and the text as a whole compares favourably with other plumbing guides. recommended where needed. --Library Journal, September 2008

Product Description

Fresher and more complete than ever, this edition includes new material and revised information and is completely current with the 2006 Universal Plumbing Code. From basic repairs to advanced renovations, this is the only plumbing reference book a homeowner needs. And now, for the first time, Black & Decker® The Complete Guide to Plumbing includes a comprehensive section on working with gas pipe. No other big book of plumbing for DIYers covers this important subject. Also new to this 4th edition is expansive coverage of PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), the bendable supply tubing that s taking over a major portion of the DIY market. And with the current popularity of outdoor kitchens, we ve expanded our coverage of outdoor plumbing as well. Now, we ll show you every step of the process to supply and drain an outdoor sink.

Format:Paperback
None of the dimensions, such as pipe diameters and fittings, are metric, which we use in UK. In all the illustrations the buildings are timber frame. Definitions of products, such as plastic pipes, are US. Toilet cistern mechanisms described are illegal in UK which requires syphon type.

Lives up to the title 30 Sep 1999
By Dave - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I very rarely spend hard earned money on "how-to" books since they very rarely offer the kind of insight a do-it-yourselfer is looking for. This book is the best exception to that rule that I have found. The book covers all facets of plumbing.

Included in the book are high level overviews, extensive discussions of plumbing materials, and step by step instructions for planning, installing, and repairing plumming systems. Whether you are a current home owner looking for assistance in home plumbing repairs, or designing the plumbing system for new construction, this book contains everything you need to get the job done.

In addition to the thoroughness of the information contained in the book, there are outstanding graphics and photographs depicting topic at hand. This book would be a bargain at five times the cost.

Best Book on a Confusing Subject I've Found! 23 Feb 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've been disappointed many times at the lack of depth given by many "do-it-yourself" books. This isn't one of them! The photos are clear, the language concise. Each procedure is given clearly in a step-by-step manner that anyone can follow. After reading this book I may even tackle copper pipe and soldering, something which I've never been quite brave enough to do before. I had questions answered that I've been searching for, quite literally, years. How-to manuals just don't get any better.

Great resource for doing it yourself- and doing it right! 2 Dec 2002
By JDiver - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm the kind of homeowner who isn't afraid of attempting various repairs- with the proper guidance and directions (I do have some background in electronics repair, but that's a distant relative to home repairs, IMO.) This book provides both for me through excellent organization, clear instructions highlighted by excellent overall and step-by-step photos (for instance, photos of three alternative "naked" shower plumbing setups as typically installed in American homes, sans drywall and covering, as well as step-by-step photos of how to perform component maintenance or replacement). Included are lists of the tools needed to do the job (ever had to stop mid-job because you didn't have the exact tool to continue?), a well-written index and even handy conversion (metric - Imperial) tables, as well as what in my opinion is the only useless bit of this book, a sketchy resource list of professional associations. I think this book still merits five stars; it is good for scoping and planning, and then to follow as you are doing. Finally- a well-illustrated and clearly written book for the rest of us, not assuming we know it all nor talking down to us! Kudos- and thanks!- to Black and Decker.
