About This Book:
This book is your guide to passing
the plumber's exam. Whether this is your first try or your third, and no
matter what state or county exam you're taking, the information between
the covers of this manual will help you pass.
This book has hundreds of the type
of questions that appear most often on plumber's exams. Each question is
answered under both the Uniform Plumbing Code and the
Standard Plumbing Code. Clarifications and explanations are
included when the answer involves an important point you might miss. And
there's no need to flip back and forth to answers in another part of the
book. The answer is printed right under each question.
Twenty chapters cover all the
topics you'll find on most plumbing exams: both standard and specialized
plumbing systems, definitions of plumbing terms, vents and venting, traps,
interceptors and separators, private sewage disposal systems, storm water
drainage, plumbing fixtures, fire protection piping, gas systems, plumbing
isometrics, and plumber's math. One section explains how to prepare for
the exam and includes a list of recommended references for your use. At
the back of the book there's a complete sample exam that can predict how
you'll do on the real test - and suggest what subjects you should review
again.
If getting certified and receiving
top pay for your work as a journeyman or master plumber is your goal, this
is the book for you. It can be your first step to a more rewarding career.
