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.

Our flagship publication is now in its 6th edition, based on the most widely used codes in the United States. It covers common code violations in the four major code disciplines: building, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical. The book has 29 tables and 84 helpful illustrations. It includes a summary of the top 100 code changes, which are also highlighted throughout the text of the book. The flip-chart format has laminated spill-proof pages for durability and ease of use in the field. See sample pages. Endorsed by the International Code Council. List price $18.95 Web price $16.95.
