This textbook is aimed at trainees in the vocational fields of 'Plumber, Sheet Metal Worker, Roofer, and Facade Designer'. It takes into account not only the classic tasks of plumbing but also the newer developments in this field. In addition to traditional tasks such as roof drainage, flashings, and metal roofing, new areas of activity, particularly in facade construction and metal design, are becoming increasingly important. This book covers both the traditional areas of responsibility and the modern activities of the plumbing trade. The main topics of the book include: the fundamentals of roof drainage, flashing techniques, dormer and chimney cladding, modern manufacturing of metal roofs and special roofing types, lightning protection and snow protection on roofs, as well as facade construction and metal design. Chapters on accident prevention and scaffolding, building physics, and ergonomically favorable workshop design complete the book. The 4th edition of this book has been thoroughly updated, adapted to the requirements of the profession, and takes into account the GEG 2020. The visual material has been extensively modernized. Furthermore, the plumbing regulations from ZVSHK that were in draft form at the time of printing have been incorporated.
