Has Value To The Professional & Do-It-Yourselfer Alike,
By A Customer
This review is from: Plumber's Standard Handbook: The Complete Source for Plumbing Professionals (Hardcover)
This Handbook covers everything you could possible want in clearly organized sections & easily understood explanations. It covers & explains every commonly needed aspect of the Plumbing Code & later goes on to explain Installation of everything it talks about in the code section, followed by an explanation of Troubleshooting & Repairs. This book includes a CD-ROM which night be valuable to a plumber as it contains a large variety of trade related business forms. However, this book contains few illustrations/photos & none are color. The book assumes a certain level of knowledge in some areas, i.e., it makes frequent reference to zones 1, 2, & 3 but never explains them, & it includes some diagrams which will be unclear to many outside the trade. Acronyms are defined once & good luck in locating the definition later because you cannot find them in the index. I'm glad I have this book, but for complete coverage, particularly for those of us not in the trade, others books will be needed.
