The book fulfilled all my requirements for fixing plumbing at

tips are great. For once I have a book that is so very help-
fyl in every way.

I converted my 1950 home to copper pipe from iron with the help of this book. At the same time I added 2 new 3/4 bathrooms and switched drain pupe from cast iron to PVC. Big Project.
I was able to learn enough to run all the copper through the rooms and hire a more experienced plumber to help with the actual "cut-over", which the two of us did in one afternoon.
If you are a hands-on type and want to save some money on your next plumbing project, this book is a great reference. There are a lot of rules to follow for plumbing and this book explains them fairly well. Only reason not a 5* was I though the section on drains, traps and vents was still confusing.
I passed all of my inspections and love my new mega water pressure!!!!

i have done quite a few of basic projects in this book.
the processes are extremely well illustrated and leave me confident in what I have learned to tackle a given project.
