Covering both general and technical information related to PVC use, this illustrated manual discusses the properties of the material, its testing and inspection, hydraulics, design factors, pressure capacity, receiving and storage, installation, testing and maintenance, and service connections. Although intended as an aid to the design, procurement, installation, and maintenance of PVC pipe and fittings, its technical information is not directly correlated to AWAA standards. Appendices feature chemical resistance tables and flow friction loss tables. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
