Getting to KnowYour Plumbing

Nothing is quite so intimidating to the prospective darkroom builder as the thought of installing new plumb ing. There is something awesome about cutting into the pipes of one's home when you are not totally confident that the job can actually be successfully completed. It is this fear of the unknown that makes plumbing a forbidding prospect. This fear can be overcome so you don't have to give up in advance and pay a plumber to do the entire job. Perhaps the job required is relatively simple and requires no major work at all. If not, you can study the basic theory of plumbing. This section will be a good start, but other references should be searched out in the local library, especially if your home is plumbed in materials not covered in this book.
