Book Description

Excerpt from A Plumbing Catechism: Or the Theory and Practice of Plumbing Design in Question and Answer T has been the purpose of the authors in compiling this book to so formulate the basic principles of plumbing design and practice as to crystallize the knowledge of the skilled plumber and provide to the non technical reader a source of information on this subject as free as possible from the puzzling set phrases of the craft. Recognizing the fact that manual skill in the practice of the art may not be acquired frorn the printed page, the discussion of matters relating solely to handicraft, such as joint wiping, lead burning, etc., purposely has been omitted.
