Most plumbing work comes down to a few processes done well: choosing and making the right joint for the pipe, bending and measuring accurately, and running pipework through a building without weakening a joist, breaching a fire wall or bridging a damp-proof course. The free question set checks those processes and the waste and energy duties that come with them.
Soldered, compression, push-fit, press, solvent-weld and fusion joints each suit particular pipes, temperatures and places. Heat near timber, water in the pipe and a joint that will be buried all change which one is right.
Revise choosing a joint methodMeasure from the finished positions, allow for how far the pipe goes into each fitting, and check before cutting. A square, deburred cut is what lets a fitting seat and seal.
Revise measuring and markingNotches and holes in joists have to stay within the permitted zones and sizes, and a pipe through a fire-resisting wall or floor has to be fire-stopped so the barrier still works.
Revise plumbing and the building fabricFor a jointing question, start with the pipe material and where the joint will be: a blowtorch near dry timber, a damp void and a joint buried in a floor each rule some methods out. For a building-fabric question, ask what the pipe run could weaken or breach, and which rule or guidance limits it.
A plumbing processes mock test checks recall without the explanation after each answer, so you see which ideas hold up on their own. These processes run through every Level 2 unit, so revisit them alongside the system units.
The free test offers 5, 10 or 25 questions from this same set, with an optional practice timer. In Test mode, answers and explanations appear after you finish. Repeated tests reuse this bank, so a higher score can reflect familiarity.
Set up a free Plumbing jointing and processes testSoldered capillary (end-feed and solder-ring), compression, push-fit and press joints on copper; solvent-weld and push-fit on plastic waste; compression or electrofusion on MDPE; and threaded joints on steel. Know how each seals, what it needs and where it should not be used.
A few, and they are practical: the length of pipe between two bends in an offset, and where in a joist a notch or hole is allowed. Sketch the job, write down the rule you are applying and check the units before you work anything out.
Yes. The Test setup uses 5, 10 or all 25 questions from this set. Choose an optional practice timer and review the explanations after finishing. For broader plumbing revision, add the health and safety, cold water and hot water sets as well.
All 25 questions on this page are free, with no account or card required. They are selected from the maintained Plumbing jointing and processes question bank. Premium opens the full bank of 150 questions, more modules and Weak-Spot Review.
