Code Check: Your Key to the Codes
The Code Check Series are condensed guides to the most commonly cited code violations encountered by building inspectors, contractors, do-it-yourselfers and homeowners. New editions of codes typically are issued every three years. Each edition of Code Check is based on specific sets of codes, and most books include summaries of code changes to link them to the prior edition of codes as well.
Since 1995, with over one million copies sold, Code Check has been the leader in deciphering the voluminous, complex and sometimes tedious world of codes, or as we say, "Code Check - Your key to the codes."

Benjamin Franklin was chosen as the main character in our Code Check illustrations for a number of reasons. The "First American's" insatiable curiosity, scientific genius, and civic-mindedness drove him to study fire safety, safe exiting, public sanitation, improved heating methods, and of course, electricity. Franklin made major contributions to each of the four main disciplines of building inspection: Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical.
The 7th edition of our flagship publication has been completely updated to the 2012 IRC, UPC, & UMC and the 2011 NEC. Common code violations in building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical are explained with the help of 28 tables and 83 illustrations. As always, this book include a summary of the most significant code changes. The flip-chart format helps you to easily find the material you need to identify code compliance issues. The laminated spill-proof pages are durable and designed for field use. The book is endorsed by the International Code Council.
