Preface
Plumbing protects public health: safe drinking water in, waste out. This textbook is workforce training for apprentices, career changers, and facility staff—not a master plumber license exam replacement.
Ten chapters move from trade basics through rough-in and service, codes and safety, and business literacy. Complete section quizzes, then chapter and course reviews from a 200-question bank.
Always follow your state license rules, adopted IPC/UPC amendments, and employer SOPs. Verify permits and inspections with your local authority having jurisdiction.
How to use this guide: scroll through all chapters in order, or jump via the table of contents. Each chapter includes learning objectives, cited sources, and section navigation—like a reference textbook, not a slideshow of bullet summaries.
