Overview

Sorting through a key code – whether it is the International Plumbing, Mechanical, or Fuel Gas Code ® - can be a daunting task. Here is a resource that will break down all three of these codes so that readers can easily identify key changes and their real-world applications. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE®, INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL CODE® AND INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE® 2015 edition addresses the critical updates contained in these codes and why they originated to give insights into the implications of the changes. Each change analysis features the affected code sections and identifies the type of change: newly added text, a modification of the existing language, or deleted text. Accompanying each change are detailed illustrations, photographs, or examples. The book’s attention to detail, its logical organization, and its thorough yet concise coverage, all make it an ideal tool for transitioning from the 2012 codes to the 2015 versions.
