Pipefitters Handbook, Third Edition by Forrest R. Lindsey, published by Industrial Press, New York, NY, 1953, 1967, 4 x 6¾ hardcover, 464 pages. ISBN 0-8311-3019-9
Please note this book is new, not used. It is issued new without a dust jacket.
Compact and pocket-sized (note the dimensions, above), this handy reference contains thousands of facts and figures relevant to pipefitters, steamfitters-anyone concerned with layout and installation of pipe. Based on the author’s working notebook of over 35 years as a pipefitter, it provides answers to all sorts of problems indigenous to power and industrial pipebending, and the fabrication of welding fittings in both shop and field.
Lindsey logically categorizes all material according to job description, supporting each working table with a clear example of how to use it, and includes a special reference section that gives instant data on the 24 most useful on-the-job subjects, such as spark tests for metals, sheet metal weights, valve types, weights and measures, and many more. He discusses how to make and fit all types of bends; elbows, tees, and crosses; plastic pipe; soldering and brazing; travel and run; fitting dimensions; threading pipe; relative physical properties; and more.

* PLEASE NOTE that our experience over the past few holiday seasons has been that about one in five books took over four weeks to be delivered to states west of the Mississippi River. Please understand that we have NO control or influence over the how quickly or how slowly the Post Office delivers your book.
If you want to use media (book rate) mail please wait at least four weeks before you contact us to inquire about the whereabouts of your book. And note that all we’ll be able to tell you is the date we mailed it from the Post Office. We will NOT be able to tell you where the book is, or when the Post Office is going to deliver it.
Global Priority Mail is $12.00 to most countries. PLEASE NOTE - NOT ALL COUNTRIES !!!
Global Priority Mail to Canada is $10.00.
First Class International Mail to Canada is $7.35.
First Class International Mail to most other countries is usually more than Global Priority Mail or just a little bit less, so we no longer list it as an option.
Our experience in the past few years is that MAILING OVERSEAS HAS BECOME SOMEWHAT RISKIER AND MUCH, MUCH SLOWER. We have seen a handful of books take nearly two months to be delivered. Italy particularly seems to have problems: books we have mailed to Italy seem to always take at least three or four weeks. We’re sorry, but there is nothing we can do about the postal services of our respective countries.
