The Pipe Fabricators Blue Book is the popular companion guide to The Pipe Fitters Blue Book.  The author, W.V. Graves, taught pipe fitting at Lee College in Baytown, Texas, near Houston.

Graves was a pipe fitter for more than 25 years and undoubtedly one of the leaders in his field.  

It was Graves who saw the need for an easy-to-use yet comprehensive reference manual that was so compact it could be carried by workers in the field.

The book is not only easily accessible, it's durable and water resistant too. This pocket-size reference manual contains tables and diagrams useful for pipe fabrication.
