This book is designed for use as both a text and study guide for those
students taking the licensing test in plumbing. Because of the large
number of residential dwellings under construction and planned for the
near future, this is a growing area. Well trained and knowledgeable
plumbers are urgently needed in most of the individual United States and
Canada. The field of plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters is
predicted to grow about 12% each year until 2024, faster than most
professions. The onslaught of new buildings is behind this surge.
Here, in one book, the entire plumbing trade is covered in one
accessible source. Consideration is given to cover all states' exam
requirements. Tools and instruments are included to familiarize the
licensing candidates with labor-saving devices and their correct
utilization. While there are hundreds of practice exam questions, there
is no guarantee that these questions and answers will appear on the
actual test, or that the reader will pass the exam by simply reading
this book. The main emphasis is on getting the tradesman accustomed to
testing and knowledgeable about the plumbing trade in general. While
there used to be several good resources for those studying to become
licensed plumbers, these are quite old and rather outdated. This
textbook/study guide will fill a void in this increasingly important
trade.
Features
- Includes valuable tips and illustrations of the various tools and
equipment used in the trade.
- Practice questions with answers (at least 400 in the book, and several
hundred more on an affiliated website) will be included at the end of
each chapter, organized according to the various aspects of the trade.
- Some suggestions for taking tests and studying for exams are also
discussed, along with tips for instructors who are preparing lesson
plans and curricula for teaching plumbing certification.
- An affiliated website will have additional test questions, videos, and
color photographs of the more eye-catching scenarios in the book.
