5A plumbing teacher's review  Apr 02, 2001 By Michael C
I use this book often in the shop/classroom. I think it is an excellent teaching aid when used in conjunction with the associated workbook. My only problem is converting some of the Minn. code into Massachusetts code where I teach. Several of the chapters deal specifically with plumbing traps, materials and plumbing fixtures, which I like. The workbook does a great job of using many different testing methods including True/False, multiple choice, essay questions, math and isometric sketching. In future editions I would love to see more info on the history of the trade, drawings/drafting and heating appliances. All in all, this is the best teaching book out there and I have looked through them all!

4A good, solid book on plumbing  Mar 21, 2001 By M. Manzano
I first read and used this book in the US Navy Seabee training unit I was an instructor at in 1996. Being based on the Minnesota plumbing code, which is by far the most stringent in the country, it was a very good reference from which to learn and to teach. The company I work for now issues that same book to all new plumbers and I even keep a copy in the truck as a reference in the field. The companion workbook is a great tool also. If you're looking for a layman's breakdown of the MN code, this is it.

This is an excellent book! It covers all the questions most of us have about the trade. I have purchased several books on the subject and this one is by far the best.
