    Correct Answer
    A. 3/4"
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 3/4". A urinal stall type should have a minimum water supply size of 3/4". This is because a larger water supply size is required to ensure an adequate flow of water for flushing and maintaining cleanliness in the urinal stall. A smaller water supply size, such as 5/8" or 3/8", may not provide enough water flow and could result in inadequate flushing and potential hygiene issues. A larger water supply size, such as 1 1/4", may be excessive and wasteful in terms of water usage.

    Vertical drainage lines connecting with horizontal drainage lines shall enter through

    • 90 degree branches

    • 45 degree branches

    • Coupling

    • Tee

    Correct Answer
    A. 45 degree branches
    Explanation
    Vertical drainage lines connecting with horizontal drainage lines typically enter through 45 degree branches. This angle allows for a smooth transition of wastewater flow from the vertical line to the horizontal line, minimizing the risk of clogs or blockages. Additionally, the 45 degree angle helps to maintain proper drainage slope and prevent the accumulation of debris in the branch. Couplings and tees are not typically used for this purpose as they do not provide the same smooth transition as a 45 degree branch.

    What fitting is needed in a cleanout if the pipe is 6" diameter?

    • Nipple

    • Reducer

    • Elbow

    • Long sweep

    Correct Answer
    A. Reducer
    Explanation
    A reducer fitting is needed in a cleanout if the pipe is 6" diameter because a cleanout is typically a larger opening in the pipe that allows for easy access to the inside of the pipe for cleaning or inspection purposes. Since the pipe diameter is 6", a reducer fitting is required to connect the larger cleanout opening to the smaller diameter of the pipe. This ensures a proper and secure fit between the cleanout and the pipe, allowing for effective maintenance and cleaning of the pipe system.

    What should be done before working with lead that is wet?

    • Pre-heat

    • Use blower

    • Wipe it

    • Use drier

    Correct Answer
    A. Wipe it
    Explanation
    Before working with wet lead, it is important to wipe it. This is because lead can be toxic, and when it is wet, it can be more easily absorbed into the body through skin contact or inhalation. Wiping the wet lead helps to remove any excess moisture, reducing the risk of exposure to the toxic substance.

    Which of these maintenance procedures maybe performed on a pump while it is running?

    • Lubricating the impeller fins

    • Tightening the packing nut

    • Replacing the seal parts

    • Replacing the packing

    Correct Answer
    A. Tightening the packing nut
    Explanation
    Tightening the packing nut can be performed on a pump while it is running because it involves adjusting the packing material around the pump shaft to prevent leakage. This procedure does not require the pump to be shut down or stopped, allowing it to continue operating while the packing is adjusted.
