These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 64 topics.
You're pricing a new install: furnace, water heater, range and a BBQ line, all off one meter. You need a pipe size for every section, and the longest run decides it.
The manual covers it in dense paragraphs: inlet pressure, allowable pressure drop, specific gravity, longest length, next greater length. Every line reads fine, and the next morning you can't remember the order.
In the book, that same system is drawn: the meter, every outlet, the longest run measured out and the load added up section by section. You read the table in three moves, always in the same order.
Clocking a meter, reading a sizing table, common venting two appliances and the pressure test work the same way: each one has its own page.
You look at it, you get it, and you take the reading without going back to the manual.
The G2 job and the gas system, pressure and units, piping and pipe sizing, regulators and controls, combustion and air supply, venting, testing and start-up, propane, and exam-day review: 68 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You're finishing a new install and the last step before the furnace fires is the pressure test. Your foreman asks what pressure, and for how long.
In the book, you open the pressure test page and it's all drawn: the gauge on the line, the test pressure in a box, the minutes beside it and the steps numbered in order.
Same with pipe sizing, the combination gas valve, common venting, vent termination clearances and two-stage propane regulation: each one on its own page.
Gas Technician 2 Illustrated is 9 parts and 64 topics, all drawn, and at the end: the 10 numbers to know cold, the 6 procedures in order and the most common exam traps.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What a G2 can do that a G3 can't, how the exam works, the gas system from meter to burner, natural gas vs propane, odorant and leaks, finding your way in the code, rating plates.
Read any pressure in kPa, inches of water column or psi on one ruler, and turn an appliance's input into m³/h: typical house pressures, gauge vs absolute, manometers, kW, BTU/h and MJ/h, clocking a meter.
Approved piping materials, the 5 things you need before sizing, the 4 sizing steps, fittings and equivalent length, supports and drip legs, CSST and bonding.
How a regulator works, regulator vents, shut-off valves, the combination gas valve, thermocouples and flame rectification, ignition systems, furnace sequence of operation.
Combustion triangle and excess air, complete vs incomplete combustion, CO numbers, combustion analysis, combustion and ventilation air, tight houses, primary air and orifices.
Vent categories I to IV, natural draft, vent connectors, common venting two appliances, masonry chimneys and liners, plastic venting, termination clearances, spillage and draft testing.
Why and when to pressure test, the test step by step, finding the leak, leak test at operating pressure, purging, appliance start-up, temperature rise, tagging and records.
Propane basics for the G2, cylinders vs tanks, two-stage regulation, container location and clearances, vaporization in cold weather, converting an appliance.
The 10 numbers to know cold, the 6 procedures in the same order, the most common exam traps and installation mistakes, and your last 2 weeks before the exam.
At the end of the book: The 10 numbers to know cold, the 6 procedures in order and the most common exam traps.
Multiple-choice questions written like the computer-based exam, each with the answer explained and the page to go back to, so you find your weak spots before exam day.
Each mistake drawn next to the correct installation (vent slope, drip leg, regulator vent, clearances), so you spot it on the exam and on the job.

Yes. It doesn't explain what a wrench is: it goes straight to the G2 topics, pipe sizing, venting, testing and propane. It doesn't replace your course manual or your code book: it puts each of those topics on one drawn page, always in the same order, so you can review them in the evenings without rereading 40 pages.
It's written for Ontario, not the US: based on the current editions of CSA B149.1 and B149.2, Ontario Regulation 215/01 and the Gas Technician 2 scope published by TSSA. Units are metric first (kPa, m³/h, kW), with in w.c., psig and Btu/h beside them, as you'll see them on the job. No code text or tables are reproduced, and each code number carries a note so you can find it in your own code book.
No. It's an independent illustrated study book, not produced, approved or endorsed by TSSA, CSA Group or any training provider.
No. It's a study aid next to your course, your code book and your hours on the job. It doesn't replace the training or the certificate you need to work on gas.
No. They're written for this book, multiple-choice like the exam, each with the answer explained and the page to go back to.
The book and the 2 bonus books come as PDFs by email, to the address you enter at checkout. It's a one-time payment, with no subscription.
It's built for Ontario's Gas Technician 2 exam and Ontario Regulation 215/01. The CSA B149.1 code topics apply across Canada, but other provinces have their own certificates and exams, so check your province's requirements first.
Yes. Print it at home or at a print shop, and keep the pages you use most in the truck.

No more rereading the code with nothing sticking.
The combination valve, the sizing table, the test pressures: you see them drawn, and that's it.
You walk into the exam knowing where everything is.
Drawings make studying faster.
