This book teaches the calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost plumbers who fail a master licensing examination do not fail because they cannot do the work. They fail because the examination asks them to size a system on paper, against a code book, with the clock running, and that is a different skill from installing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis guide teaches that one skill and teaches it in full.  Eleven modules  carry you from counting fixtures in a public building to navigating a code book under examination conditions. Every principle is stated before it is used, every worked example shows the arithmetic line by line, and every table is read the way an examiner expects you to read it. Where a requirement differs between American and Canadian practice, the book says so instead of pretending the two are the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eINSIDE THIS BOOK :\u003cbr\u003e\n1. Calculating Fixture Requirements: occupant load, gross against net area, fixture ratios, rounding rules\u003cbr\u003e\n2.
