"All homeowners dread the moment when the faucet starts dripping, the water power plunges, or the pipes freeze. They often don't know how to fix the problem themselves...and plumbers are costly. That's why it's important to have this how-to on hand. It explains everything from the supply and waste systems to traps, with layouts of the typical bathroom and kitchen. There's coverage of pipes, fittings, shut-off valves, and every variety of sink, faucet, toilet, tub, and shower. Find out what's a must-have in the tool box, and how to cut, fit, and join pipe; remove fixtures; and install water filters, hot water dispensers, dishwashers, and garbage disposals. Plus, detailed illustrated instructions provide troubleshooting guidance on everything from clogs and leaks to sewer gas"--Publisher description.
