About the ASSE 5110 Exam

ASSE 5110 is the national certification for Backflow Prevention Assembly Testers who field-test reduced pressure (RP), double check (DC), pressure vacuum breaker (PVB), and spill-resistant vacuum breaker (SVB) assemblies. The 2-hour, 100-question written exam covers terminology, basic hydraulics, assemblies, devices and methods (ASSE 1013, 1015, 1020, 1047, 1048 and 1056), test equipment and testing, procedures, and troubleshooting. The 1.5-hour practical exam requires the candidate to demonstrate the test procedure the local authority having jurisdiction requires (such as USC 10th Edition, ASSE or EPA) on RP, DC, PVB and SVB assemblies; all ASSE exams are closed book.

How do the ASSE 5110 vocabulary games work?

There are 4 games built on 20 ASSE 5110 terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

Where do the ASSE 5110 terms come from?

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the ASSE International / IAPMO content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

What does an ASSE 5110 Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester do?

A 5110 Tester performs the annual field test required by the water purveyor and the AHJ on reduced pressure (RP), double check (DC), pressure vacuum breaker (PVB), and spill-resistant vacuum breaker (SVB) assemblies. The tester confirms that each check valve holds tight, that the differential pressure relief valve on an RP opens at the correct value, and that air inlets on a PVB or SVB open at or above the required pressure, then reports the result to the purveyor.

How many questions are on the ASSE 5110 exam and what is the passing score?

The ASSE 5110 written examination is 100 questions and requires a score of 70% or higher to pass. Candidates must also pass a hands-on practical exam that includes the field test procedure for RP (ASSE 1013), DC (ASSE 1015), PVB (ASSE 1020), and SVB (ASSE 1056) assemblies without notes or assistance.
