1 out of 5 stars What a joke..........2007-06-06

Interesting the similarities between the last Virginia Plumbing Code and the first International Plumbing code, eh? It's not coincidence.

It appears that the "International Code Council"... located in Virginia, no less... had a stroke of brilliance. They produced a gem of a name for their book- the "International" Plumbing Code. What? They using these codes in Mexico? Ecuador? France?

A good name sells anything. This book is a ridiculous reduction of plumbing codes, stuffed into a few pages. It's obvious very few contemporary issues are addressed. Unfortunately, bureaucrats aren't plumbers... which is why several states have adopted it as their new gospel on plumbing, and the International Code Council's dreams are becoming reailty. I've had multiple discussions with individuals "just so excited that someone finally took up the task to umbrella "all" the plumbing codes into one national code... so we can all be on the same page now... like the National Electrical Code!"

Absolutely hysterical

2 out of 5 stars It is what it is........2007-04-07


The "code", in this case plumbing, is essentially an overpriced, legal document.

Most states have created their own version of plumbing code with many, major municipalities adding restrictions at local levels.

Whereas in a perfect world, "the" plumbing code would rigorously define a system of best practices - our United States, plumbing codes reflect insurance companies' interests in establishing a safe ( reasonably, low level of liability) datum.

The "code" is written by attorney's in cooperation with plumbers, builders, supplier's of materials and various, other, self interest groups.

It is vague, possesses no visual representations, poorly indexed, unreferenced and in many cases a hinderance to the adoption of new materials and design.

It is at best marginally practical.

However - because there is no popular movement to make the code "more accessible -" we are stuck with it.

It is what it is!

3 out of 5 stars just good enought for name sake.......2007-03-19

with 148, the book didn't really go into detail into why some of the codes were wrote certain ways. I've read many other code book and they offer explanation into why its a certain way. This book doesn't make the code relatable so its going to feel cold to read, just bare details.

        While other plumbing code books are annotated guides filled with almost as much legalese as the code itself, this is the only book to use illustrations as the basis for explanation, a bulleted format for text, and real-world case studies to explain how to apply and interpret the 2006 International Plumbing and Sewage Code.

                2 out of 5 stars Trite on DWV.......2007-01-10

                There is scant content on DWV design, which is the most critcal area of plumbing.

                2 out of 5 stars Dated information. .......2007-01-07

                The book is as dated as the author. It is nearly irrevelant in many areas of the country and will not be helpful to anyone interested in learning, or understanding their local plumbing code.

                I have 30 years experience as a licensed plumber, but my experience was in this century.

                The National gas code section is pathetic. Very little information in 5 pages large type(the National Fuel Gas Code is over 100 pages) , too thin for the professional, too complex for the amature.

                The author does not address the latest technology in gas or plumbing.

                ** Morgan says don't buy.
