 Ideal for students, apprentices & practicing professionals. Apr 05, 2000
By Midwest Book Review
Now in a completely revised and updated edition, Howard Massey's Basic Plumbing With Illustrations is the definitive "how to" manual for installing code-approved plumbing in residential and light commercial buildings. Systematically laid out in twenty-three chapters, Basic Plumbing With Illustrations covers all of the fundamentals of the plumbing trade including planning and sizing, installation, maintenance, common layout, materials, and code requirements. Invaluable and practical information is provided on inspections, floor plans and plot plans, drawing and reading isometrics, code definitions, and materials. Profusely illustrated with hundreds of charts, tables, installation diagrams, and rough-in measures, Basic Plumbing With Illustrations is enhanced further with a glossary of plumbing terms, plumbing abbreviations, extensive study questions at the end of each chapter, and a section with all the correct answers. This is the ideal text for students and apprentices, as well as practicing professionals in the field.

Everything is explained in this book Sep 03, 1998
This book shows you everything about plumbing, including septic systems, solar water heaters, and hooking up swimming pools and spas--not to mention the basic and industrial plumbing fixures and techniques. This book is extremely interesting.

quality reference material Sep 15, 2005
By jjc
"jjceng.com"
Basic Plumbing with Illustrations is a handy reference book for designers, engineers, and draftsmen. There are a lot of illustrated examples showing best practices when laying out residential and light commercial plumbing that minimize extra fittings, are UPC compliant, and work for stacked and flat systems.
Also handy are rough-in dimensions for common fixtures, drain, waste and vent sizing charts, and cold and hot water supply sizing info. that includes a neat explanation of solar hot water heating methods.
this reference goes hand in hand with another Massey authored Publication entitled "Planning, Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems".

 Not another do it yourself book. Jun 07, 2010
By professional student
"Dean"
Basic Plumbing with illustrations is not just another how to book.
The Author, Howard C. Massey is a Master plumber,in so being he is amply
qualified to explain in great detail how a plumbing system in buildings work.
This is the text book of choice for the college apprenticeship plumbing course
at Lane Community College in Eugene,Oregon.
You may not be a plumber after reading this book, but you will know why things are done the way
the author describes them to be done. This book explains the correct way to do a job and in most
cases meets local and national building codes. Always check with local authorities and codes before
starting a plumbing project.

2nd Order Jul 25, 2010
By Nick F,
This is the second time I ordered this book. The first (from another supplier) was never received since my local PO gave the book to someone else! This time the book arrived promptly and in better condition than described. Very good seller.
The book itself is quite dated (cost less than $2.00) and since it deals with timeless basics, it has been very helpful. Due to the infancy of PVC plumbing when this book was first published, the author's dislike for it is evident in what he DOESN'T say. (Must have been a Union Plumber in his earlier years!)
