Sinopsis
Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Plumbing
In preparing the manuscript for this book, the author's sole object was to systematize and reduce to an exact basis, the principles which underlie the practice of plumbing. The necessity for accurate rules and formulas, instead of the empirical methods formerly employed, was often and forcibly brought home to the author when designing plumbing installations for large buildings. The scarcity of scientific information on this important branch of sanitation was quite marked. No book had ever been published that indicated the best kind of material to use for a given purpose, that told how work should be designed and installed to be perfectly sanitary, and that showed how to pro portion the various parts with relation to the whole, so that a plumbing system designed and installed according to the text would give perfect service. Rules and formulas for proportioning hot and cold water supply pipes were entirely lacking and no literature was available that would be of assist ance in determining this most important feature of a building. Neither could anything be had that would indicate the size of piping required to supply a given number of flushing valves for closets, nor that mentioned the numerous other conditions requiring consid'ération when designing a plumbing installation. Realizing this, the author gathered much valuable data and worked out many rules and formulas from his private practice, and the gist of the rules.

Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Plumbing
So unusual is it for a manufacturer to become a publisher, that a few words explaining our connection with "Principles and Practice of Plumbing" will probably not be amiss.
An explanation leads us back to the announcement made in the initial number of our monthly magazine, Modern Sanitation (June, 1904). The announcement set forth the fact that in publishing Modern Sanitation there was no intention to interfere with the established trade papers on sanitation and plumbing materials, and that we would endeavor to make it attractive and valuable by incorporating items and articles of general interest to all of our readers.
In addition to the trade papers, there are numerous worthy works on plumbing and sanitation, each of which when published represented a distinct advancing step, and we feel that the authors of these works will be in hearty accord with "Principles and Practice of Plumbing."
When "Principles and Practice of Plumbing" was first published in Modern Sanitation, we had no thought of this volume, but as the succeeding chapters of the work appeared, we were frequently requested by prominent architects, plumbers and sanitary engineers to publish the entire work in book form. It is wholly due to these repeated requests that we are now the publishers of this book.
When the idea of our publishing the book was suggested we held back, fearing perhaps that some might gain the impression that it was done as a disguised advertisement to exploit "Standard" Porcelain Enameled Plumbing Fixtures. We can plainly state, however, that such is not the case - we are publishing the work solely for the good it may accomplish and we hope that it will completely fulfill its mission.
