Book on Plumbing (threaded)

[jlakes85]

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good comprehensive book on threaded plumbing systems? I have the audel guide on pipefitting which has a good overview of stuff like offsets etc., but it doesn't go into detail regarding the different fittings, plumbing methods etc. from the ground-up. Anything that has a special focus on steam service systems would be a bonus. As always, any input is greatly appreciated.

you will have much better success if you not call it plumbing (what you find in the bathroom), and look for 'piping'.

suggest that you try a google search "steam piping practice"

there are many good references available
