This resource serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and utilizing specific plumbing components made from a durable ferrous alloy. It details the dimensions, specifications, and installation techniques for joining sections of pipe within a drainage system using these particular connectors. An example would be referencing the appropriate connector to join a 4-inch horizontal drain line to a vertical stack.
The importance of such documentation lies in ensuring plumbing systems are constructed according to code and function reliably for extended periods. Benefits include standardized practices, simplified material selection, and reduced likelihood of leaks or system failures. Historically, these documents have evolved alongside advancements in plumbing technology and regulatory requirements, becoming indispensable tools for plumbers and engineers.
