The 2013 Handbook is now available in print format and digitally, where sections can be purchased separately!

Every section has been updated with the latest changes to various standards. New additions to the handbook are: speciality plumbing i.e. institutional, update on solar, and a new section on heat pumps, the Consumer Protection Act, rainwater harvesting, greywater, pipe rehabilitation, and leak detection.

All of these sections provide opportunities for the designer and plumber. Such opportunities require knowledge and training, but once gained, provide profitable opportunities.

Water is a scarce resource and wet service engineers and plumbers must do everything to protect this resource. The SA Plumbers’ Handbook will provide input needed and the direction that we can take to accept the responsibility that we have as plumbers.
