"Elements of Plumbing" by Samuel Edward Dibble is a manual on plumbing techniques written in the early 20th century. The book is tailored for beginners, particularly young men with no technical background, who are keen to learn the fundamentals of plumbing. It extensively covers practical exercises including lead work and iron pipe installation, aiming to equip readers with the skills necessary for proficiency in the plumbing trade. At the start of the book, the author introduces the plumbing trade, detailing its evolution from basic water supply systems to more complex waste disposal methods. He emphasizes the importance of sanitation in plumbing fixtures and provides a description of early plumbing solutions, such as hollowed stones used as sinks, while discussing the advancements in modern plumbing fixtures. The opening section establishes a foundational understanding of plumbing concepts that will be built upon in the exercises and techniques provided throughout the book.
