After more than 30 years as a plumber, Peter Hemp knows all about designing, installing and repairing plumbing systems in both new construction and remodels. In this book he tells you clearly and completely what he has learned, sharing his experience with you as no plumber has ever done before. Whether you are building a new house or remodeling an old one, either on off-the-ground construction or on slab, the author shows you the best ways to design, size and install piping for water supply, wastes, fuel gas supply, and vents. You’ll learn how to cut and join copper, iron, galvanized steel, various plastic pipe and even terra-cotta, and how to decide which materials, products and tools to use and which to avoid. In text, photos and detailed technical drawings, the author presents the code sanctioned ways of solving tricky plumbing problems and helps you decide which solution makes the most sense for you. Plumbing A House has proven its worth for decades and is an indispensable plumbing tool and reference for anyone who wants to understand residential plumbing. For plumbers who want to improve their craft, apprentices who want to lean it well and non-plumbers who want to develop their skills, this book, along with its original Taunton companion volume, “Installing and Repairing Plumbing Fixtures will be the source you turn to when you want reliable plumbing advice. For those of you who have written and published via the traditional Publisher/Author/Royalty path, you well understand that the exercise is a team effort. The author is indebted to Charles Miller, Jeff Beneke, John Palms, Peter Chapman, Larry Weingarten and Anne Hess for now seeing Plumbing A House an Amazon title. Thank You Peter Hemp Hay Fork, CA
