All pipings passing under or through walls shall be protected from breakage with embedded _________________.
- Metal Pipe sleeves
- Plastic Pipe sleeves
- Pipe support
- Clevis hanger
Correct Answer

A. Metal Pipe sleeves

Explanation

Pipings passing under or through walls are susceptible to breakage due to various factors such as movement or shifting of the walls. Metal pipe sleeves provide protection to the pipings by acting as a barrier between the pipes and the walls. These sleeves are embedded within the walls, creating a secure and durable support system for the pipes. Plastic pipe sleeves may not offer the same level of protection and strength as metal sleeves. Pipe support and clevis hangers may provide support but may not necessarily protect the pipes from breakage.

_________________ shall not be installed inside public toilet rooms.
- Drinking fountain
- Water closet
- Wash basin
- Urinal
Correct Answer

A. Drinking fountain

Explanation

Drinking fountains should not be installed inside public toilet rooms because they can contaminate the water supply with bacteria and germs present in the toilet area. It is important to maintain a hygienic environment in public toilets, and having a drinking fountain inside can compromise the cleanliness and safety standards. Therefore, it is recommended to install drinking fountains in separate areas outside the toilet rooms to ensure the quality and purity of the water supply.

Cast Iron Soil Pipe shall be supported vertically at ______________ or closer.
- Every 5 meters
- Every storey
- Every 4 meters
- Every 2 storey
Correct Answer

A. Every storey

Explanation

Cast Iron Soil Pipe shall be supported vertically at every storey or closer. This means that the pipe should be supported at each floor level or at a distance that is shorter than the height of each floor. This is important to ensure proper stability and support for the pipe, preventing any potential damage or failure due to the weight of the pipe and the contents it carries. By supporting the pipe at every storey, it helps to distribute the load evenly and maintain the integrity of the system.

Rate this question:
13.

Screwed pipe or Iron Pipe Size vertical supports.
- At every other storey
- At every 2 storey
- At every 3 storey
- At every 4 storey
Correct Answer

A. At every other storey

Explanation

The correct answer is "at every other storey." This means that the screwed pipe or iron pipe size vertical supports are installed at alternate levels or floors of the structure. This method of installation provides structural stability and support at regular intervals throughout the building. By placing the supports at every other storey, the load is distributed evenly, preventing excessive stress on the structure and ensuring its integrity.

Plans and specifications shall be submitted in ___ sets of the aforementioned requirements with each application for a permit.
- 2
- 4
- 6
- 8
Correct Answer

A. 6

Explanation

The correct answer is 6 because when submitting plans and specifications for a permit application, it is required to provide a sufficient number of sets for review and distribution to the relevant parties involved in the approval process. Having 6 sets ensures that there are enough copies for all necessary parties to review and assess the plans.

The Administrative Authority requires that every request for inspection be filed at least ______________ before such inspection is intended.
- 1 week
- 5 working days
- 3 working days
- 1 working day
Correct Answer

A. 3 working days

Explanation

The Administrative Authority requires that every request for inspection be filed at least 3 working days before such inspection is intended. This means that individuals or organizations must submit their request for inspection at least 3 working days in advance in order to allow sufficient time for the administrative authority to process and schedule the inspection. Filing the request within this timeframe ensures that the authority has enough time to make the necessary arrangements and accommodate the inspection request.

Rate this question:
16.

Piping buried in the ground shall be laid on a _________________.
- Soft soil
- Firm bed
- Metal backing
- Wood backing
Correct Answer

A. Firm bed

Explanation

When piping is buried in the ground, it needs to be supported by a firm bed. This is because a firm bed provides stability and prevents the pipe from shifting or sinking over time. It also helps to evenly distribute the weight and load of the pipe, minimizing the risk of damage or failure. Soft soil, metal backing, or wood backing would not provide the necessary support and stability required for buried piping.

Floor drains shall be considered a plumbing fixture.
- Yes
- No
- Maybe
- When it has a trap
Correct Answer

A. Yes

Explanation

Floor drains are considered plumbing fixtures because they are designed to remove wastewater and prevent flooding in areas with floor surfaces. They are typically connected to a drainage system and have a trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the building. Floor drains are commonly found in basements, garages, laundry rooms, and commercial spaces where water spillage or drainage is expected. Therefore, the correct answer is "Yes."

Rate this question:
20.

Rainwater drains shall discharge outside of the building or to the ____________.
- Soil Pipe
- Water PIpe
- Vent PIpe
- Gutter
Correct Answer

A. Gutter

Explanation

Rainwater drains are designed to collect and remove rainwater from the building. The drains can either discharge the water outside of the building or direct it to a gutter. A gutter is a channel or trough that collects the rainwater and directs it away from the building. This ensures that the rainwater does not accumulate near the foundation of the building, which could cause water damage or flooding. Therefore, the correct answer is gutter.

Rate this question:
21.

All pipings passing under or through walls shall be protected from breakage with embedded _________________.
- Metal Pipe sleeves
- Plastic Pipe sleeves
- Pipe support
- Clevis hanger
Correct Answer

A. Metal Pipe sleeves

Explanation

Pipings passing under or through walls can be vulnerable to breakage due to various factors such as pressure, movement, or external forces. To protect them from potential damage, metal pipe sleeves are embedded around the pipings. These sleeves act as a protective barrier, providing reinforcement and preventing breakage. Metal pipe sleeves are stronger and more durable compared to plastic sleeves, making them the ideal choice for this purpose. Pipe support and clevis hangers may provide additional support but may not necessarily protect the pipings from breakage.

Building sewer shall be installed under or within ________ of any building structure.
- 0.2 m
- 0.4 m
- 0.6 m
- 0.8 m
Correct Answer

A. 0.6 m

Explanation

Building sewers should be installed under or within 0.6 m of any building structure. This distance ensures that the sewer is properly connected to the building and allows for easy access and maintenance. Installing the sewer too far away from the building structure can cause difficulties in connecting the pipes and may result in inefficient drainage. Conversely, installing the sewer too close to the building structure can pose a risk of damage to the foundation or structure itself. Therefore, a distance of 0.6 m is considered the appropriate range for installing building sewers.

Rate this question:
23.

Building sewer shall be installed under or within 0.6 m of any building structure nor less than __________ below the finish ground surface.
- 0.1 m
- 0.2 m
- 0.3 m
- 0.4 m
Correct Answer

A. 0.3 m

Explanation

The building sewer should be installed at a minimum depth of 0.3 m below the finish ground surface. This is important to ensure that the sewer line is adequately protected and not susceptible to damage from external factors such as excavation or heavy loads. Installing the sewer at this depth also helps to prevent any potential blockages or obstructions from affecting the building structure. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to this requirement during the installation process.

All water service yard piping shall be at least ____________ below the finish ground level.
- 0.1 m
- 0.2 m
- 0.3 m
- 0.4 m
Correct Answer

A. 0.3 m

Explanation

All water service yard piping should be at least 0.3 m below the finish ground level. This requirement is in place to ensure that the piping is protected from damage caused by external factors such as vehicles, construction activities, and natural elements. By burying the piping at this depth, it is less likely to be disturbed or broken, resulting in a more reliable water supply system. Additionally, burying the piping at this depth also helps to prevent freezing during cold weather conditions.
