Twenty-two chapters provide comprehensive information and detail for the professional plumbing engineer and designer. As Al Steele said in the preface to his second edition and which is equally relevant today: ?There has been more progress made in the plumbing engineering profession in the past decade than during the entire preceding half-century. Design of plumbing systems has become much less of an art and more of a science.'Inside the book:Systems and Fixtures covers fixture selection, quality and classification of fixtures, water closets, urinals, sinks, bathtubs, showers, drinking fountains and other fixtures.Drainage Systems examines public sewers, sewage'disposal systems, sanitary drainage systems, storm drains and more in detail.Storm Water Systems examines the design of storm drain systems, including collection areas, vertical walls, roof gutters, and flow velocities. Vent Sizing looks at requirements for venting of horizontal drain branches, venting stacks, and relevant codes.Water System Design shows the design of water supply stystems for any project and provides the information necessary to maintain adequate water supply and pressure.Pipe Expansion and Contraction covers expansion and contraction of pipelines in relationship to temperature differences.Other chapters cover: Fixture Traps; Flow in Drainage Piping; Soil and Waste Stacks; Drainage System Sizing; Vent Systems; Sumps and Ejectors; Flow in Water Piping; Velocity Effect in Piping; Water System Sizing; Water System Components; Hot Water System Design; Sizing the Hot Water Circulating System; Water Piping Tests; Chilled Drinking Water Systems; Private Sewage Disposal Systems; and Valves.Laws, Calvin is the author of 'Engineered Plumbing Design II', published 2004 under ISBN 9781891255205 and ISBN 1891255207.
