"This book is designed for use as both an on-the-job manual as well as a study guide for those taking the licensing exam in plumbing. Each chapter begins with a set of performance objectives and closes with the same type of review questions plumbing licensing candidates might find on their certification tests. Throughout the work, the authors include valuable tips and illustrations of the various tools and equipment used in the plumbing trade. Readers will find pertinent information on licensing requirements around the USA and can better understand the path of a typical plumber in various fields, from apprentice to journeyman and beyond. Suggestions for exam preparation and techniques for test-taking are discussed, along with specifications for plumbing buildings of all types, both residential and commercial. Helpful tables assist readers to quickly locate the source for answers, and appendices include additional practice test questions and answers, along with information on complying with ADA requirements. This essential resource should be part of every plumber's toolkit, no matter what stage of their career."--Back cover
