Collins Complete Plumbing and Central Heating: Learn how to repair leaks, fit taps, bleed radiators and more with this comprehensive plumbing manual

Best beginner plumbing book!When i was learing my trade i found this book very helpful. College would cover more technical imformation but what is more important when you're a novice is being able to do simple tasks to build confidence, and this book makes it easy. I found it very well illustrated, and covering the names of parts to simple things like a tap, which you don't get taught at college and your journeyman won't know ether.This book covers the most important parts of solar heating, underfloor heating etc and explains in great detail how things like taps and siphons work. It covers all types of basins and baths to give you the ability to creatively design your own bathroom to your taste. Very informative book for DIY or apprentices.

Excellent .. so much better than the poorly written books for apprentices in the UK.

Excellent, easy to use guide for beginners. Clear explanations and pictures. I'm a total novice and it has helped me to understand how things work and how to fix stuff. Covers showers, baths, toilets, taps,valves, central heating systems, radiators, washing machines, boilers, pipework... everything.. including the kitchen sink!

A reference book, discover whether you need a plumber, or you can solve the problem yourself.

I bought this after buying the Collins complete DIY book as I assumed this would give more in depth information on this more specific subject. Actually it's just a direct extract from the DIY book, and prehaps doesn't go into enough detail to justify it's own independant book. Spend a bit more, get the Complete DIY book, which is fantastic and learn about some other subjects at the same time.

Good book.for basic knowledge used in conjuction with more up to date books.

Great DIY book

The tap wouldn't - diss-assemble so I I had to saw the tap off the sink. So then I had to fit two new taps and since I had problems gettint the spanner to get at the taps to remove them - when I did finally remove them I also made sure to refit flexible tapwater pipes. Also one of the stoptaps under the sink was leaking so ....etc etc. In doing this I also kicked the toilet and had to refix it onto the floor. If it happens again it will be a doddle to do it.But we did this ourself my wife and I - and all it cost apart from busted knuckles and a bad back for a fortnight was the price of the parts and we are chuffed with ourselves I have saved a lot of money and the job looks really good - better than before.. This book is the business what more can I say

Sollte man auf Deutsch übersetzen. Ausgezeichnete Fotos, Zeichnungen, und Anweisungen.
