The Ultimate Plumbing Dictionary (Home improvement & Repairing Guide)
Plumbers work encompasses many fields of knowledge. Plumbing is affected by advancements in technology, new inventions, improvements of materials, and discoveries in seemingly unrelated fields. Similarly, the terminology of plumbing is derived from everyday human language, which is constantly changing.
This Dictionary includes many words that are not common in daily speech. On the other hand, it has many words that are regularly used by everyone, but have become specialized and thus have, in the sense used, become plumbing terms like “vent,” “fixtures,” and “water closet.” To prepare this book, we started to collect words and terms from plumbing trade publications, product catalogues, text books, plumbing code books, reference books, and dictionaries. We solicited list from people in all phases of plumbing; from manufactures, plumbers, plumbing inspectors, and educators… and we are extremely grateful for the enthusiastic responses we received.
