    An apprentice should be beyond the need for a basic instructional book, if it existed. He/She should have a copy of the code book for the area they are working in. They should already know the basics of connecting different types of pipe. The expertise comes from the plumber they are working with. No book can tell you the countless ways of accomplishing the same thing, or what is or isn't acceptable in every area.

    Hello, I can say that Peter Hemp, who wrote
    "Plumbing A House" years ago has just updated the book. He's added a chapter on PEX and other revisions. It will be available on his site, peterhemp.com, once the site is actually up and running. B)

    new apprentice has only 2 days experience. no trade school or plumbing experience some welding background. I'm sure he could learn a lot from a book that explains basic plumbing systems and therory.

    Hello, I looked on AddAll.com and find a used copy of Peter Hemp's book for $1.56. That could fill in nicely until the revised edition is out. :)

    Yours, Larry
