I think it would be very helpful for any handy homeowner. Instead we have to settle for searching the Internet and hoping the forum we stumble across has a code reference on the first page and not the 10th page. And it is dependent on jurisdiction. Look up receptacle requirements in the code and you should see a lot of guides. However, you cannot search, print, copy, past, annotate, or otherwise manipulate the code.
Therefore, while it is helpful for answering very directed questions, we find it far easier to either head to the local library to use the code there, or to just pay for a code book. Hope that helps! Thanks for this. I agree that searchable documents would be easier and more convenient. I guess they want you to buy it? Can a volt switch used as a disconnecting means for a instanious water for a sink be located under the same sink without being in a weatherproof enclosure and without seal title.
And does it need some type of protection besides a regular breaker. What is the min height for a breaker box in a house and the max height also from the NFPA book? Hello, I am trying to help my husband find a code book at a better price than the stores around our area have them for, and I came across this site. Very helpful and insightful information. For instance, he graduated in so he only had the code book then. If he were to want the or code book, could he pay for just the pages of changes?

While the NFPA certainly has contributed to the safety of occupancies in the US, from my side of things the fire service side , they seem to be influenced a little bit by a handful of manufacturers. They have no enforcement powers of their own, and most jurisdictions adopt only what is convenient for them to enforce or easy with which to comply themselves.
For instance, most fire departments will comply with NFPA rules regarding the construction and contents of an apparatus, because federal and state grants usually require so. However, there are almost NO departments that comply with the staffing requirements of the NFPA, which would have 5 men on an engine, and 6 on an aerial apparatus. Your remarks about the NFPA selling code books is right. They change things sometimes just to make changes.
Good point to reiterate in the comments…. NFPA is an association… the enforcement of the regulations is a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction decision. It saves the electricians from having to buy new books and learn new rules. Good find. Wonder why they charge so much. Its not changing a few words in the book that is the problem, its justifying that change, and figuring out that it needs to change. Joe, I tend to agree with this.
Can you sell the old NFPA books back for a quarter of what you initially paid? Thanks for this info. Great discussion. Another resource for changes are continuing education providers. Unlike Maryland, which is county by county, a number of states require courses specifically on the changes. So if you are looking for the top changes based on the proposals and comments, you can take a course for free with a provider like us or anyone else out there.
The good ones are only pay after you pass so there is no cost up front. You can sometimes, as in our case, download a pdf of changes for free as well.
