I was sent this search tool from UL and wanted to share it with you. Just click on the link and then click on the appropriate book you want to search.
I have tried several 2011 Code book searches and they all helped me find what I was looking for! This tool will help you search listings for different materials
and how they are listed. Let me know what you think! Found it to be a great help when a listing question comes up.
Till the next time work safe be safe.

Ever wonder why the PVC conduit run on the side of a building is all wavy and looks awful, it’s because the installer probably forgot to include an expansion fitting. Per NEC section 352.44 PVC conduit requires an expansion fitting where the PVC pipe is expected to move 1/4″ or more. Here in So. Florida the PVC is expected to move approximately 2.64″ based on our average temperature range.
See the attached link on how to install one of these fittings. http://0323c7c.netsolhost.com/docs/Conduit%20expansion%20fittings.pdf
Till next time.
