DeWalt announced the release of the DeWalt HVAC Code Reference: Based on the International Mechanical Code. Employing the codes established by the International Code Council (ICC), this book is designed to help HVAC professionals understand and comply with complicated code requirements.
This detailed reference manual is extremely useful for those working on critical HVAC functions, such as exhaust systems, fireplace ventilation, and electrical connections. It provides aid with code compliance and even delivers illustrated information for HVAC professionals.
Based on the ICC’s 2009 International Mechanical Code, the DeWalt HVAC Code Reference provides readers with the knowledge and information needed to successfully install, remove, repair or modify HVAC equipment. With 80 pages of detailed code information, the book covers everything from materials and duct construction to air-conditioning, combustion, water heaters, fireplace ventilation, electrical connections and more. Full-color, three-dimensional illustrations throughout the book detail components of code requirements and violations to help readers visualize and apply key concepts, which is important for anyone working on HVAC equipment.
In addition to the DeWalt HVAC Code Reference: Based on the International Mechanical Code, other books offered in the series include the DeWalt Building Code Reference: Based on the International Residential Code, the DeWalt Electrical Code Reference: Based on the National Electrical Code, and the DeWalt Plumbing Code Reference: Based on the International Plumbing and Residential Codes.
All of the books in the series are made with a flexible, tear-resistant and water- and oil-resistant material that is held together with a heavy-duty binding. This may seem insignificant, but if you expect to be able to whip out these references in the field, these become mandatory features. Produced in a compact 5″ x 8″ size, the books fit in most tool boxes, allowing construction professionals to easily bring the reference guides to jobsites.
The books retail from $14.95 to $39.95, and they are available at a variety of retailers nationwide, including industrial distributors and construction supply stores. For more information or to purchase any of the books in the Code Reference Series, please visit www.dewalt.com/guides.
