i work at a hardware store, and 99% of the time, i'm put in the area of the building that deals with plumbing. i came into the store knowing nothing about plumbing, and i still know very little about it. could someone give me the basics for toilet, sink, gas, dryer/washer, and hot water heater plumbing?

There are three basic rules of plumbing to remember
Hots on the left colds on the right and **** dont run uphill
Basically faucet leaks can be fixed with new washers or stems stoppages can be fixed with a forcecup plunger
if a toilet leaks at the floor you need a waxring if it leaks in the tank you need a new flushvalve
If you have any specific questions please email me

I would suggest you look at the catalogs and possibly a basic plumbing formula book to get an idea about friction loss and velocity.
Or you can just type my name on the Internet "Tieger plumbing" and see the various countries I write plumbing articles for plus several locations for questions and answers.
You cannot learn plumbing even the very basics in weeks it will take months just to get a basic handle on all the various fittings

Plumbing Crash Course

There are no "crash courses" in plumbing. You take each job one problem at a time and go from there. I've been in the "business" for umteen years and learn something new everyday. I never argue with anyone, even an electrician about plumbing, he might be right, you never know.
One hint, be quiet and listen, you can learn more that way.

I'm glad you are interested in knowing about the areas in which you work! It is so frustrating to me as a consumer to ask an employee about a product and not be able to get help.
Have you asked your employer about training? If you don't have support there, you probably work for someone who doesn't have a care for the customer satisfaction and I advise you to get another job as the business is surely headed for failure!

This is not possible. Try going to the library if your store doesn't offer any training courses.
