5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent explanation of drain systems (plumbing)., October 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Planning Drain, Waste & Vent Systems (Paperback)

Although the intended audience for this book is the professional plumber, we found the book extremely useful for understanding the drain portion of our home's plumbing system. The book explains how a plumber lays out a system and discusses the most important relevant building codes. It turns out that a drain, waste, and vent system is more complicated than one might expect. This was the only plumbing book we found that gave enough details to help us understand the layout of all the hidden pipes in our house. These details helped us locate a leak in our drain system.

2.0 out of 5 stars Needed an IPC reference, not UPC, January 9, 2007

MTR - See all my reviews

This review is from: Planning Drain, Waste & Vent Systems (Paperback)

This is not relevant material for the IPC. The tables and directions are UPC based. This needs to be stated in the advertisement.

This is very helpful in understanding drain, waste and vent design. A little dated, but I would definitely recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars not quite what I needed...
While this is a good book, I needed more information about plumbing design to be able to create my own design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product. Seller shipped as promised.
Due to delivery problems (not seller's fault), I suggest consideration of USPS for expedited deliveries.
