Product Description

Review

"Clear, concise text with full colour illustrations ensure plumbing technical terms are easy to understand and absorb." (Plumbing & Heating Engineering, December 2008)  


Product Description

The original, practical and comprehensive plumbing encyclopaedia

∗ More entries than similar books

∗ Fully up–to–date

∗ Written by an expert – the author of three best selling plumbing books with over 20 years of teaching experience

∗ Clear, concise text with full colour illustrations ensure plumbing technical terms are easy to understand and absorb

The Plumbing Encyclopaedia has been written in encyclopaedic form to enable the student, plumber and heating engineer to find accurate information on specific aspects of their craft quickly. The book includes entries and definitions for over 2300 terms, components, techniques and working practices, clearly explaining the terminology used by plumbers. Topics covered include:

∗ cold and hot water supplies

∗ drainage

∗ soldering and welding

∗ hot water heating

∗ radiant heating

∗ solar heating

∗ electrical work

∗ sanitation

∗ sheet weathering

∗ gas and oil supplies

∗ warm air heating

∗ steam heating

∗ air conditioning

∗ building science

∗ and many more

British Standards and legislation related to plumbing continue to be updated, so terms and definitions must also be updated to reflect current use. With all entries scrutinised and updated where necessary to reflect these changes plus over 100 new entries the fourth edition of the Plumbing Encyclopaedia remains the definitive source for all plumbers. In addition, more than 400 full colour illustrations, redrawn since the previous edition, enhance the legibility and usefulness of the definitions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for students, 24 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is an excellent book. This book is a must have for students doing an nvq course, it is all in alphabetical order from above ground drainage to zinc weathering. It has all the basics of plumbing to the more advanced topic. This book helps with all assignment you have to compelete to get your nvq. It is a must have refrence book for all in the trade, because it give you vital information and british standards to conform too. I would as recomened you to get yourself a copy of Plumbing, Heating and gas installations, by R.D. Treloar (ISBN 0-632-05332-1). These two together give you an essential guide to plumbing and all you will need to know for your NVQ course.

1.0 out of 5 stars basic, 7 Jul 2008
This review is from: Plumbing Encyclopaedia (Paperback)
This is a very basic text, probably good for total beginners but if you know what a blowtorch and a lathe are and don't need it explaining to you with poor pencil renderings then it's not the book for you (yes, I returned it!)
