This is a guide that was published as an advertisement for Rockwell International’s Building Components Division. The Introduction states that this guide is published for the handyman who wants to keep his present plumbing system in good, emergency-free working order…who perhaps wants to install a few new fixtures or at least up-date some that have served their purpose…and who wants, above all, to accomplish these goals without an undue expenditure of cash. Plumbing operations, as you will see from this Guide, are not difficult for those who have reasonable hand skills and who are willing to follow simple directions. And when you think of the reward – the actual using of whatever project you have undertaken, you’ll agree there is nothing quite so satisfying. It gives good advice on how to use plumbing tools and what tools and supplies the handyman should have in his plumbing kit. It has sections describing how your plumbing system works, how to work with pipe and tubing, how to do emergency repairs, how to replace old plumbing fittings, and how to plan for new plumbing installations.
