Title: Plumbing a new house
Post by: Dano on July 14, 2007, 04:50:15 PM
Does anyone know of current books or web sites on plumbing a new house using PVC, PEX, on demand water heaters....etc. Some of the books that have been suggested seem to be outdated.
Thanks......

This book is very good.  Its only shortcoming being its age, it will have less information about newer techniques like plumbing an entire house with PEX.   For the $7 to 16 price, it's worth it.  It had the best, almost the only, information on underslab rough-in.

fine home building magazine, june/july of this year had a great plumbing article. "better undersink plumbing" using 1 1/2 inch pipe, double -Y fitting, and flexible rubber elbows. must read; go to library ( could still be on the news stands )
