An excellent study guide for plumbers preparing to pass the "master plumber" exam, this edition features updated coverage of all current plumbing codes. Each unit of Plumbing Technology, 3rd Edition also contains new and improved summaries, plus "Test Your Understanding" quizzes (with answers in an appendix), to clarify and reinforce more difficult concepts.
