"Any system that transports or carries fluids for various applications using pipes, tanks, valves, plumbing fixtures, and other equipment is known as plumbing. There are a large number of tools which are used within this field such as water meters, pumps, expansion tanks, water heaters, water softeners, pipe wrenches, pipe cutters, etc. Plumbing infrastructure is vital to sanitation and public health. It uses pipes and tubes of a wide variety of sizes and materials, including steel, plastic, cast iron, and copper. Primary categories of plumbing systems include potable water supply, surface and rainwater drainage, hydronics, fuel gas piping, sewage systems, and septic systems, among other treatment systems, and plumbing drainage venting. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts related to the practice and profession of plumbing. It is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theories, practices, and techniques relevant to the field. This book is an essential guide for plumbers, boilermakers, pipefitters, and those who wish to pursue this discipline further." -- Back cover
