NEIEP 200 Final Review 2026 – 85 Questions & Verified Answers | Hoistway, Rope Safety, Elevator Installation, OSHA, Tools

This comprehensive exam prep document for the NEIEP 200 Final Review – 2026 Edition contains 85 fully answered multiple-choice questions, covering advanced elevator installation practices, safety codes, mechanical systems, and tool usage. It is designed for elevator constructor apprentices, mechanics, and trainees following the National Elevator Industry Educational Program (NEIEP) standards. Topics addressed across the document include: Wire rope identification and safety standards (lay types, wear resistance, constructional and elastic stretch, rope sizing and seizings, preformed rope design) Elevator safety mechanisms (counterweight safeties, terminal motion switches, overspeed governors, oil buffers, Type C safeties, pit limits) Rigging and mechanical tools (spud wrench, strap wrench, hacksaws, mitre saws, babbitt testing) Hoistway and rail systems (guide rail installation, T-rail DBB and BBG spacing, plumb line setup, adjustable brackets, spreaders, tie-downs) Machine room and drive components (gearless/geared drive sheaves, U-groove reeving, worm shaft oil levels, drive RPM calculations) Car and platform installation (cab weight balance, modernization floor levels, carpet measurement, laminated glass safety) Job folder use and blueprint references (final layout drawings, component labeling, benchmark use) Code compliance and safety (ASME standards, fire extinguisher types, OSHA practices, use of metal ladders, counterweight safeties over occupiable space) Examples of notable questions include: “What is the most wear-resistant wire rope construction?” 6 x 19 Seale “What is the breaking strength for a 1 1/8" nylon rope with a safety factor of 5?” 52,000 lbs “What should you use to check DBG on a T-rail installation?” Bayonet Gauge “At what speed does the ASME code require oil buffers?” Over 200 FPM “How often must hoist ropes be resocketed without safety shackles?” Once a year The file also contains real-world calculations (e.g., rope stretch, carpet area in square yards, stored rail weight) and standard terminology critical for field practice. Best suited for: NEIEP apprentices and elevator mechanics preparing for Module 200 final Technical instructors conducting reviews or mock exams Union training centers and elevator construction programs Field professionals needing refreshers on safety practices and jobsite standards Keywords: NEIEP 200, wire rope lay, rope safety, governor, elevator buffers, terminal switch, gearless drive, hoist ropes, plumb line, T-rails, pit limits, OSHA, ASME code, elevator installation, adjustable bracket, carpet calculation, torque wrench, babbit testing, tie downs, job folder, DBB, BBG, mechanical safety
