About the Book

This book provides the definitive text for students taking NVQ gas installation and plumbing courses. It presents essential information in a concise format and the text is well illustrated with diagrams and photographs. It should provide the first textbook aimed solely at students learning the subject of gas and follows the same approach as Roy Treloar's highly successful textbook, Plumbing. It covers domestic, commercial and LPG installations.
