The author's aim has been to avoid this fault, by stating in plain language, as briefly as possible, what constitute the leading requirements of sanitary drainage as applied to buildings. The first and third parts (the second, third and sixth in the new edition) of this little book deal with the general principles of house drainage, while the second part (the fourth in the new edition) discusses in detail the requirements as to material, workmanship and arrangement of sanitary plumbing. These, it is believed, will be found particularly useful by architects and engineers in preparing complete plumbing specifications for all classes of buildings. The fourth part, (the fifth part in the new edition) giving memoranda on the cost of plumbing work, will, it is hoped, be found by many to be a welcome addition. |
