Plumbing manual

In collaboration with the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada (UA), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) announces the second edition of its Backflow Prevention Reference Manual. This manual represents the merging and revision of the first edition of IAPMO’s Backflow Prevention Reference Manual and UA’s Cross-Connection Control Manual. This full-color, illustrated reference manual is designed to teach every aspect of backflow prevention and cross-connection control, from identifying and testing the wide variety of backflow prevention assemblies to proper selection and installation of both testable assemblies and non-testable backflow prevention devices. It provides instruction on how to recognize degrees of hazard or potential risks to potable water systems, and whether the proper backflow prevention method, device or assembly has been correctly installed. The manual also contains sample test questions to help prepare an individual to become a certified backflow prevention tester, surveyor or repairer. http://www.iapmostore.org, (800)-85-IAPMO (854-2766)
