The first part of the design guide focuses on Copper, with chapters on history, production, specification and limitations. The second part includes design principles, cold water system design, hot water system design, warm water systems, pumps, design guidelines, pipe sizing guide and design methods.

The design guide is particularly useful for anyone starting out in hydraulic services design, such as students, graduate engineers or plumbing contractors transitioning into design services.

H2X was approached by the International Copper Association to be included in the latest edition of the design guide as they recognised the digital progression of hydraulic design methods.
