About this practice
Choose tools for the task
This focused test checks whether you can match common tools and measuring instruments to a safe, useful purpose.
Prepare for safe isolation, accurate cutting and preparation of pipes, correct use of traps and fittings, leak testing and practical diagnosis of restricted flow or pressure problems.
How to use this test
- Complete every question without checking an answer elsewhere.
- Read the reason for every incorrect answer in your result.
- Practise weak skills hands-on with competent supervision.
Core areas for this trade
Safe isolation
Shut off the correct supply and release stored pressure before opening a pressurised system.
Pipe cutting and preparation
Measure, cut, deburr and prepare pipe ends so that joints seal correctly and flow is not restricted.
Fittings and fixtures
Recognise the purpose and correct orientation of common valves, traps, seals and connectors.
