If your looking for a source to help you understand the provisions of the International Plumbing and Gas codes, look no further. This Guide takes you through each chapter, step-by-step. It leaves no stone unturned. It explains water, drain and vent pipe sizing, how to calculate fixture requirements, occupancy loads, male/female ratios, gas pipe and vent sizing, and combustion air requirements.

If the code does not explain it in plain English, the Guide does. I've written this Guide only to explain the tough stuff, and I've done it in only 62 pages (this is not another 500 page book you have to wade through), I believe anybody who can read, can look up the minimum size for a shower drain, but calculating the adjusted pressure drop of 376 feet of 1" water pipe @ 5 feet per second could prove challenging to many people. This is when the guide kicks in.

I GUARANTEE YOU WILL PASS THE PLUMBING EXAM OR YOUR MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED. If you do not pass the exam within 8 weeks, simply send me an email and I will refund the purchase price.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAITE WEEKS, DAYS OR EVEN HOURS TO GET THIS VALUABLE GUIDE. ONCE YOU PLACE YOU ORDER IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO YOU IMMEDIATELY
