1Which hand tool is specifically designed with serrated adjustable jaws to grip and turn cylindrical metal pipes?

A.Pipe wrench (Stillson wrench)

B.Adjustable spanner

C.Monkey wrench

D.Combination pliers

Explanation: The pipe wrench features hardened serrated hook and heel jaws that self-tighten around smooth round pipe surfaces as turning force is applied.

2What is the primary function of a spirit level in pipe installation work?

A.Measuring pipe wall thickness

B.Checking horizontal and vertical alignment of pipelines

C.Cutting plastic pipes to exact length

D.Deburring internal pipe edges

Explanation: A spirit level uses liquid-filled vials with air bubbles to verify whether pipelines, sanitary fixtures, and drainage slopes are true horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb).

3Which pipe fitting is used to join two straight sections of pipe of the same nominal diameter in a continuous line?

A.Elbow fitting

B.Tee fitting

C.Socket or coupling

D.Reducer fitting

Explanation: A socket or coupling is a short cylindrical fitting with internal threads or smooth sockets on both ends designed to join two pipes of equal diameter in a straight run.

4Which plastic piping material is specially chlorinated to safely withstand hot water temperatures up to 93°C in domestic plumbing?

A.Standard UPVC

B.Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE)

C.High-density Polyethylene (HDPE)

D.CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)

Explanation: CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is created by chlorinating UPVC resin, enabling it to withstand elevated temperatures up to 93°C (200°F) and high working pressures.

5What is the primary function of a sanitary trap installed beneath plumbing fixtures?

A.Maintaining a water seal to block foul sewer gases from entering living spaces

B.Increasing water pressure flowing into the fixture

C.Filtering solid particles from drinking water

D.Heating wastewater before discharge

Explanation: A sanitary trap maintains a standing water barrier (water seal) in its curved bend that prevents foul smells, sewer gases, and insects from rising up through the drain line into rooms.

6What is the primary operational function of a gate valve in a water supply pipeline?

A.Regulating and throttling partial water flow rates

B.Providing full open or full closed isolation with minimal pressure drop

C.Preventing reverse flow of water automatically

D.Reducing high inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure

Explanation: A gate valve uses a sliding wedge-shaped disk that moves perpendicular to the flow, designed for full-on or full-off main isolation with straight-through minimal friction loss.

7According to standard plumbing conventions, which color band is commonly used to identify cold potable water supply pipes?

A.Red

B.Yellow

C.Blue

D.Green

Explanation: Blue color bands or markings are standard indicators for cold potable (drinking) water supply lines in building services.

8Which tool is used to cut external threads onto the end of a metal pipe?

A.Tap set

B.Pipe reamer

C.Hacksaw blade

D.Pipe threading die stock set

Explanation: A pipe threading die stock set holds removable hardened steel dies that cut external tapered threads (such as BSPT) onto male pipe ends.

9Which workshop holding device features V-shaped serrated jaws to securely clamp round metal pipes during cutting and threading?

A.Pipe vice (Hinged or Chain pipe vice)

B.C-clamp

C.Hand bench clamp

D.Woodworking vice

Explanation: A pipe vice (hinged or chain type) uses V-grooved serrated jaws to clamp round pipes tightly from multiple sides without letting them slip or crush during heavy threading.

10What flexible sealing element is used in push-fit socket joints for SWR (Soil, Waste, and Rainwater) plastic pipes?

A.Teflon tape wrap

B.Rubber ring (elastomeric gasket)

C.Molten lead ring

D.Hemp fiber packing

Explanation: Push-fit SWR plastic joints utilize an elastomeric rubber ring seated inside the socket groove that compresses against the spigot to form a watertight, leak-proof, expansion-friendly seal.
