Plumbers Get New Copper Guide
(20/9/2009)
The Plumbers Handbook is a one-stop guide to copper plumbing, drainage, gas, refrigeration, air conditioning, fire services, air, steam and medical installations. And best of all it’s free at www.copper.com.au or by emailing cdc@copperdev.com. The Handbook is particularly useful for checking Standards and Compliance issues for all copper piping techniques. Information on copper properties, tube pressure ratings and flow rate capacities are still available, but the new edition also provides a simple Table showing Equivalent Length Losses for water pipe fittings. Sections explaining how to identify WaterMark Licence compliance-as well as compliance with AS/NZS 4020 on test methods to ensure drinking water is suitable for human consumption-are a great resource. Tube jointing gets particular attention in this issue with a range of options to develop flexible systems for domestic, residential, commercial and industrial piping.
