This book is a key course text for Plumbing NVQs Levels 2 and 3 and Heating and Ventilation NVQs Levels 2 and 3. It is also essential reading for those studying for the gas, oil, unvented hot water systems and lead sheet options connected with these courses. "Plumbing: Mechanical Services "is an essential guide for all students who require a sound understanding of plumbing principles and processes. This fourth edition takes into account major changes in Water Regulations and in the Scottish and Northern Ireland Byelaws on the work of the building services industries. The two-volume set covers the main elements of plumbing technology and practical work necessary for students to achieve success at NVQ Levels 2 and 3.
