Summary : Excerpt from Elements of Plumbing In preparing this manuscript the author has had in mind the needs of young men having no technical instruction who are anxious to become proficient in the art of Plumbing. As a consequence each exercise is minutely described and illustrated; so much so, perhaps, that an experienced mechanic may find it too simple for skilled hands and a mature mind. But the beginner will not find the exercises too elaborately described and will profit by careful study. Years of experience and observation have shown the author that the methods herein described are entirely practical and are in common use today. The various exercises in lead work will acquaint the beginner with the correct use of tools and metals. The exercises in iron pipe work have also been detailed to show the correct installation of jobs. Together with the study of this book the subjects of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Drawing and English should be taken. These subjects as they bear on Plumbing are invaluable to the mechanic in his future connection with the trade. The author is indebted for the illustrations of fixtures in the chapter covering the development of plumbing fixtures, to the Thomas Maddock's Sons Co., Standard Sanitary Mfg. Co., and The Trenton Potteries Co. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Summary : The constant use of muriatic acid on the copper soon wears it away and makes it unfit for use. Rosin is easily carried and applied and is by far the best to use in regular work. POINTS TO REMEMBER IN THE CARE OF THE SOLDERING IRON.-- First, proper tinning is absolutely necessary for rapid and good work. Second, do not allow the iron to heat red hot. Third, keep the point of the iron properly shaped. Fourth, use the same flux in tinning as is to be used in soldering. Fifth, when filing iron, file as little as possible. Sixth, keep in use two irons of the same size. FLUX A flux is used to clean the surfaces of joints and seams to be soldered, also to keep them from oxidizing and to help the metals to fuse.

Summary : Using an easy-to-understand approach, this book covers the fundamentals of the plumbing system from the perspective of construction managers, architects, and other managers. Written in an easy-to-understand manner, this book emphasizes the practical applications of plumbing systems. The material is presented in a systems approach to plumbing, rather than focusing the design and engineering aspects of plumbing (although some design fundamentals are presented and explained, when appropriate). This book uses the latest National Code for Plumbing—ANSI A40-1993 Standard,“Safety Requirements for Plumbing.” For those who need to know how and why plumbing systems work, and how plumbing systems relate to other elements of construction.
