PLUMBING SET 4 QUESTIONS WITH
DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
DMV Ans: dranin, waste, and vent
pvc Ans: polyvinyle chloride, mostly wastewater, a plastic, widely used
for piping in both hot and cold water system and it drainage systems
especially where corrosion may be a problem.
cpvc Ans: chlorinate polyvinyl chloride
abs Ans: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, waste water venting
pe Ans: polyethylene, exterior water services, not with sun light
cheater Ans: an unsafe method of gaining extra leverage when using a
tool
achievement Ans: a thing done successfully, typically by effort courage,
or skill "gain by effect".
stud Ans: a structual member typically used to frame walls, wood and
aluminum
apprenticeship Ans: a combination of on the job training and related
classroom instruction under the supervision of a journey - level craft
person- to learn practical and theoretical aspects of a high skilled
occupation
pex Ans: cross linked polyethylene
cast iron pipe Ans: often used in residential waste-water systems
because it is a much quieter pipe for draining applications than plastic
galvanized and black steel pipe Ans: use for residential gas supply
piping

brass pipe Ans: use for faucets,
copper k Ans: underground, thick walled
copper l Ans: commercial, thin walled above ground
copper m Ans: residential, hard thin walled,indoor
a.s.t.m Ans: american society of testing and measurement an
international standards organizaion develops and publises voluntary
consensus technical standards.
plug Ans: bushion
cap Ans: female bushion
coupling Ans: rocord female female
victaulic Ans: Grooved Pipe Joining Method
street Ans: a type of offset fitting in which one end has the same
outside diameter as a connecting pipe or fitting
p trap Ans: a dmv fitting having an water seal, which is installed at each
fixture not having an intergal trap to prevent sewer gases from escaping
into an occupied area
Polypropylene pipe Ans: It doesn't get a lot of attention in the U.S., but
PP has a 30-year history in Europe, where it enjoys an unblemished
record for durability and health safety. It's a rigid plastic pipe, like CPVC,
but it's not joined together with chemicals. Instead, heat is used to melt
the mating ends and fuse them permanently together.
solvent welding Ans: a technique for joining plastic pipework in which a
mixture of solvent and cement is applied to the pipe end and to the
socket with the parts then being joined and allowed to set.
hose bibb Ans: a device available in numerous designs to serve as a
water distribution outlet; has a garden hose connection; often called a
sillcock. a male device
, Page | 3
Tee Ans: used to creae a branch lines
cap Ans: used to terminate a section of pipe, a cap is a fitting that fits
around the outside of a pipe
coupling Ans: used to connect two pieces of pipe having the same
diameter
plug Ans: use to terminate a section of pipe, a plug is a fitting that
screws into the inside of a section of pipe
union Ans: used to connect two pieces of pipe, while allowing for them
to be disconnected without being cut
reducer Ans: to reduce a section of pipe to a smaller diameter
adapter Ans: used to connect pipes of different sizes or materials
together.
bushing Ans: used to reduce a section of pipe like a reducer, but threads
inside a fitting to create the reduction.
aerator Ans: removable threaded housing for a screen attached to a
faucet spout that creates a uniform flow stream. many are available in a
0.5 gallon per minute(gpm) style to adhere to water conservation
objectives.
thermostat Ans: a device used to control the temperature of water by
controlling the heat source
potable water Ans: water that is safe for human consumption
fittings Ans: devices used to connect pipes together in a plumbing
system
valves Ans: devices used to control the flow of water, waste, gas, and so
on

Spraying the water into the atmosphere through jets or passing it over
rough surfaces to remove entrained noxious gases such as carbon dioxide
or hydrogen sulfide Ans: AERATION
Addition of coagulants, such as ferrous sulfate and lime, to the water
which cause the larger suspended particles to form a gelatinous mass
which precipitates readily. The precipitate is gathered in large dumps and
disposed of. Ans: COAGULATION and PRECIPITATION
Water is passed through layers of sand
and gravel in concrete basins in order to
remove the finer suspended particles. Ans: FILTRATION
Water is passed through basins
so sediments can settle
through a period of time Ans: SEDIMENTATION
Water is injected with hypo-chlorite or chlorine gas to kill
the harmful bacteria. Ans: CHLORINATION
Types of wells Ans: Shallow and Deep Well
Similar to dug well, but constructed
using an auger driven in by hand or
with power tools . Seldom hand driven below 15 meters, but can reach
40+ meters with power tools Ans: BORED WELL
Use of extreme water pressure so as not to
affect existing foundations in the vicinity. Makes use of a suction pump
above, while
casing acts as the pump riser. Used only where ground is relatively soft,
