• "Basic Plumbing Systems: Residential" [38 min.] [AV 696.1 B31 C]
• Viewers follow the process of installing a basic residential plumbing system from layout to finish. CAD diagrams display residential layouts for hot and cold water supply lines, the drain system and the vent system. Viewers 'travel' to a construction site to view the rough-in plumbing stage where only the water supply lines and drains have been installed. Viewers also see the 'stub-out' phase, where water, drain and vent systems have been installed and are awaiting the installation of drywall. Then, viewers watch the final installation of all plumbing fixtures. A quiz is included.
