  • This tells you how to wrap teflon tape on pipe threads and hook up a sink, but says absolutely nothing about system design. The very important fact that all drain pipes need a .25″ slope per foot is only mentioned in a photo caption, for instance. Very disappointed.
  • So I had the 3rd edition from last year, which I rate at 5 stars as it’s really good, and better than the two other plumbing books I bought. Then the 4th edition came out, and I thought that since the last one was so good, that I would pony up for the updates. However, after leafing through both books, except for the cover, as far as I can tell, it’s EXACTLY the same book. It’s like they just redid the cover and NOTHING else. So if you have the 3rd edition, don’t need to buy the 4th. If you don’t, then whichever is available/cheaper.
  • I actually like this book, the pictures are clear and the various tools and fittings which can be bewildering are explained concisely. However, I wish that before each project there was a section devoted to the theory of why things are done a certain way. Understanding vents, and traps for example really does help when taking apart the bathroom sink to fix clogs. Maybe a chapter at the front of the book explaining various household plumbing systems would give people context when attempting home repairs. If it was a separate chapter it could be easily skipped if readers just wanted the information to fix the problem.
  • I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I’m a commercial plumbing apprentice and I never get to touch residential plumbing. So I bought this to learn from. Every page is littered with helpful pictures and captions. This book makes the trade look easy. I can assure you it’s not haha. Remember that every state has it’s own plumbing codes though not everything can be done in this book in every state… Overall though they hit the nail on the head. Whether you’re learning how to plumb or you’re just a do it yourselfer you can’t go wrong with this book. Especially for the price. Most decent plumbing books are crazy expensive! I’m Very satisfied with this purchase!
  • This is an excellent book.I compared 3rd and 4th editions – including many pages on code-sensitive issues – and could find no differences 4th vs 3rd edition, except the price.Carefully compared the “Look inside the book” table of contents for my 4th edition vs the table of contents for the forthcoming 5th edition — looks like they added a section on page 292 — Air Gap Fitting Requirements for automatic dishwashers, reverse osmosis units, and water softeners. Price gone up again.These are excellent books. Well worth the money. But I’m not going to upgrade to the 5th edition.
  • The publisher’s name tells who this is for. There are hidden dos and don’t information here but, not organized or easy to find. You will need to read everything printed and look at all the pics of the section your need information about to find the Easter eggs.. I wish I had gotten the kindle version this wouldn’t take up shelf space then I probably use search. Nice pictures and a font that is not too fine or small. I guess computer search has spoiled me and doesn’t help my CRS, I bumped it up a star.
  • It’s rare to find such a well done DIY Book on plumbing, nicely organized, easy to understand and with great illustrative pictures.
  • We are in the process of flipping a home that has a lot of plumbing issues. This book is a wealth of information and covers a range of topics. With the book, we are able to make the million plumbing corrections on our own without paying a plumber. Saves us a lot of money.
  • This is a really useful book, loads of info about plumbing. Very well illustrated with step-by-step diagrams and photos. If you’ve any major plumbing jobs, read this first. It’ll save you no end of headaches. One star down as it’s really written for a transatlantic audience, but most of the info is relevant for the UK
  • A good book with some useful information, however, it is american so someOf it doesn’t carry over to British systems. Who knew toilets were so different?
  • Good book but I wish I hadn’t bought it – I want UK info.
  • Very good
  • Es demasiado básico, no hay mas. Esta bien editado, es amplio, mucha información y fotos, me gusta la editorial, tengo otros de la misma serie. Pero es un libro para un DIY, a alguien que tenga una serie de conocimientos de fontanería, le viene pequeño, y bien que lo siento. No lo devolveré, pero no me faltan ganas.
