2008 Ferm's Fast Finder - IAEI - Comprenehsive Index to the 2008 NEC

2008 Ferm's Fast Finder
Comprehensive Cross Reference to the 2008 NEC

By International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI)

For more than 25 years, Ferm’s Fast Finder has been the leading comprehensive cross-reference index to the NEC. Updated to the 2008 NEC, each entry, reference and source has been carefully crafted and examined for precise detail and ease of use.

Ferm's Fast Finder even the name evokes thoughts of stability, speed and facility. Historically, Ferm's Fast Finder has been the leading guidebook, with its comprehensive directions, advice and information, to the National Electrical Code. Its comprehensive cross-reference index has been meticulously updated to NEC-2008.

Volume 1 is alphabetized and criss-crossed in great detail, giving many avenues of approach to a subject. New navigational guides are built into each page, both as headers and beside each entry, to facilitate locating information quickly. Contains cross-references to the International Residential Code (IRC). with the 2008 National Electrical Code

Volume 2 contains more than 200 extensive and practical rules of thumb, formulas, illustrations, tables, charts, diagrams, and examples of situations encountered in the field. Users of the NEC will discover how parallel these codes can run.
