Black & Decker The Handy Guide to Home Plumbing

The Handy Guide to Home Plumbing is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow plumbing manual for today's homeowner. It gives you all the practical information and know-how you need to understand, install, repair, replace, and maintain your home plumbing system with confidence. This edition complies with current uniform plumbing and building codes. There have been significant changes in the rules governing what is and is not allowed in home plumbing. And the changes have been good news for homeowners. In The Handy Guide to Home Plumbing, you'll find several new projects and processes that were barely on the radar just a couple of years ago.

Though most of the projects in this book are simple, many of the complex projects, such as plumbing a kitchen, also require the use of basic carpentry and electrical techniques. The book is arranged in five easy-to-follow sections. Each section contains clear directions, expert adice from professional plumbers, cross-reference charts, and hundreds of detailed color photographs to walk you through each step of any plumbing project.
