1According to TESDA Plumbing NC I, what must be done to PVC pipe ends before solvent-cement fit-up?
A.Clean the pipe ends according to standard procedures before fit-up
B.Heat the pipe ends with a blow torch until they soften
C.Apply primer only after the solvent cement has fully cured
D.Sand the interior only; the exterior does not need preparation
Explanation: Performance criteria for PVC joints require pipe ends to be properly cleaned prior to fit-up according to standard procedures, ensuring the solvent cement bonds effectively.
2When making PVC pipe joints, when should trial fitting be performed?
A.Before final fit-up and before applying solvent cement or other jointing materials
B.Only after the solvent cement has cured for 24 hours
C.After the joint is permanently connected to test for leaks
D.Trial fitting is optional if measurements are within tolerance
Explanation: The TR requires trial fitting prior to final fit-up and before application of solvent cement or other jointing materials to verify alignment.
3Which jointing material is specified in the TR for ensuring leak-free threaded pipe connections?
A.Teflon tape or other related jointing materials applied to the threads
B.Electrical tape wrapped around the outside of the fitting
C.Gasoline applied to the threads as a lubricant only
D.Chalk stone packed into the joint hub
Explanation: Element 2 of Make Piping Joints requires Teflon tape or other related jointing materials to ensure leak-free joints and connections.
4For caulked cast iron (CI) pipe joints, to what minimum depth must joints be firmly packed and fitted?
A.Not less than 25.4 mm
B.Not less than 12.7 mm
C.Exactly 50.8 mm regardless of pipe size
D.Until the joint is flush with the outside of the pipe only
Explanation: The TR specifies caulked CI joints must be firmly packed and fitted to a depth of not less than 25.4 mm and aligned with each other.
5For hubless cast iron caulked joints, how far below the rim of the hubless fitting may the caulk extend?
A.Not more than 3.2 mm below the rim of the hubless fitting
B.At least 25.4 mm below the rim
C.Flush with or above the rim of the fitting
D.Exactly 12.7 mm below the rim in all cases
Explanation: The TR states the caulked joint is extended to not more than 3.2 mm below the rim of the hubless fitting.
6What pipe materials are explicitly excluded from the Make Piping Joints and Connections unit descriptor?
A.Copper pipes and fittings
B.PVC DWV pipes and fittings
C.G.I. Schedule 40 pipes
D.HDPE pipes and fittings
Explanation: Unit CON712345 covers making pipe joints except copper pipes and fittings; copper jointing is outside this unit's scope.
7Which PVC pipe joint angles are listed in the Range of Variables for Make Piping Joints?
A.Right angle, 180°, and 30°/60°
B.Only 90° elbows with no other angles permitted
C.45° and 22.5° only
D.Any angle without measurement
Explanation: The TR Range of Variables for PVC pipe joints includes right angle, 180°, and 30°/60° configurations.
8When fitting up PVC joints, joints must be made with strict adherence to:
A.Perpendicularity and levelness of alignment per plumbing code requirements
B.Maximum pipe slope regardless of layout plans
C.Random alignment as long as solvent cement holds
D.Overlap of pipe ends by at least one pipe diameter
Explanation: PVC joints require strict adherence to perpendicularity and levelness of alignment in accordance with plumbing code requirements.
9What is used to connect hubless cast iron pipes according to the TR?
A.Couplers
B.Solvent cement only
C.Teflon tape wrapped around the outside of the pipe
D.Welding rod without a coupling
Explanation: The TR specifies couplers are used to connect pipes and fittings to hubless pipes in caulked CI work.
10Which tool is listed for cutting and preparing pipe during joint-making activities?
A.Pipe cutter and hacksaw with blade
B.Concrete cutter only
C.Paint brush
D.Framing square only
Explanation: The Range of Variables lists pipe cutter and hacksaw with blade among tools for joint work.
