Plumbers, builders and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) contractors in the field can access information on the job with a new set of International Code reference books, built to withstand tough work environments.
Developed by DeWalt in partnership with the International Code Council (ICC), each pocket-sized manual in the DeWalt code reference series is made with metal binding and tear-resistant pages and contains full-color illustrations.
"When contractors have a code question on site, they need the answer right away," said Mark Johnson, ICC business and product development senior vice president.
"By partnering with DeWalt on this great series, the International Code Council makes it easier for professionals on the job to get code answers quickly and accurately," Johnson said.
"In addition to saving time, they help ensure the safety of their clients' lives and property."
Based on the 2006 International Plumbing and Residential Codes, the DeWalt plumbing code reference illustrates hundreds of the most common code requirements, violations and installation concerns.
Topics cover materials, kitchens, notching and cutting, backflow, water heaters, isometrics, bathrooms, trenching and excavation, plumbing tables and testing procedures.
The DeWalt building code reference is based on the 2006 International Residential Code. Topics cover stairs, foundations and footings, concrete, egress requirements, wall and floor framing, roof framing and covering, trenching and excavation, methods and procedures.
The DeWalt HVAC and refrigeration (HVAC/R) code reference is based on the 2006 International Mechanical Code. It covers commercial hoods, combustion air openings, access and clearances, duct construction, mechanical ventilation, chimneys and vents, grease duct systems and testing procedures.
"Each book in this code reference series is an invaluable resource," said Edward Francis, product development manager of Delmar, Cengage Learning, which distributes the new line. "With so many new regulations and standards, it's imperative that professionals working in these various fields are equipped with the most up-to-date information and are able to easily apply that information to their everyday tasks," he said.
