Editorial Reviews

Two California design and engineering industry experts aim to provide a reverently fondled, in-depth bible to the most popular material used for piping systems. Both professional and homeowner users of thermoplastics should find useful this reference on physical properties, design, material selection, installation, codes, standards (international and US), costs, newer joining techniques, and applications. The authors hope that this guide will overcome a perceived bias in trade school education in favor of metal pipes, despite thermoplastics advantages in cost savings, purity, and corrosion resistance (balanced with a few liabilities). Appendixes on: chemical resistance data, support table spacing, surge pressure tables, and short-term collapse rating. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
