4.0 out of 5 stars What a plumbing instructor thinks., January 1, 2003

By	Alex Douglas (Sacramento) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Code Check Plumbing: A Field Guide to the Plumbing Codes (Spiral-bound)

Code check has helped me immensely. I teach residential plumbing for a 150+ employee 1500+ homes a year Northern California company and have found that the info in C.C. is formatted in such a way that my apprentice plumbers can easily find info they need. They seldom need clarification. All codes cited are referenced with the UPC and IRC section numbers for easy look up.(IRC not used here in NorCal but nice for those who need it) Diagrams are simple and clear. C.C. is laminated and tough. Built for in the field use. I love this book. Holding back the fifth star due to spanish version unavailability.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, April 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Code Check Plumbing: A Field Guide to the Plumbing Codes (Spiral-bound)

When it was difficult to get to the library to view the Uniform Plumbing Code, I used this at home to study for an exam. I was rudely surprised when I got to the libary, compared the references to the code, and found that this guide was riddled with errors. It serves a purpose as it alerts the user to possible code issues, but you must check all references. The codes are expensive but not as expensive as counting on this guide might be.

Easy to use, very practical stuff. Gets right to the heart of the matter. I am a professional and use the Code Check books often.
