Many states require sewer and pipe installation contractors to be certified on PVC pipe installation, but there are different requirements for each state and/or region. There hasn't been a universally used work for the U.S. Uni-Bell's Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction (Industrial Press, 2012) is used for many courses in individual states, but some readers have complained that it's too large and expensive. So PVCPA and NUCA have joined forces to come out with this book, aimed specifically at the contractor's market. There is a need to better educate contractors on how to properly install PVC pipe to ensure system longevity and performance. In addition, having more qualified installers in all states will help reduce legal claims caused by poor installation. This is the most concise and authoritative work available for the installation of PVC water and sewer pipe and fittings. It contains new information, such as cutting PVC pipe. It comes complete with practical charts, graphs, and pictures that will enable users to be more effective at installing PVC pipes of all kinds.
