Have some level 2 plumbing questions im not 100% sure on

[Dannypipe]

I've been helping him on another thread!! He's obvioulsy hopping around the forum, gleaning some info here and there!! 🙂

 

[mountainman]

All of the answers are in the book(s) he should have to hand.
The trick is finding them but a. Useful exercise for later courses when sitting in an assessment centre, no help and just a. Computer counting down for company...

Hello could somebody see whether I've got any wronge. thanks

1A boiler requiring a greater waterflow rate through its heat exchanger than the heating and hot water circuitsrequire, should be fitted with

a) a pressure limiting valve
b) a flow restrictor
c) a pressure reducing valve
d)an automatic bypass valve.

2 To satisfy regulations, the controlsrequired for a fully pumped heating system (hot water
priority) using a zone valvearrangement, consists of

a) two number 2 position divertervalves, time clock, cylinder thermostat, room thermostat
b)3 port valve, programmer, room thermostat, cylinder thermostat, TRVs
c) 2 port valve, time clock, roomthermostat, cylinder thermostat, TRVs
d) 2 port valve, room thermostat,cylinder thermostat.

3 Which one of the following gasboilers overcomes the need for a cold water storage cistern, feed and expansioncistern and hot water storage vessel?

a) Back-boiler.
b) Condensing.
c)Combination.
d) Room-heater

4 If TRVs or zone valves on a systemclose, the purpose of the automatic by-pass valve is to make sure that

a) water can flow through the cylinder
b) air cannot enter the heating system
c) water cannot pump over the vent
d)water can flow through the boiler.

5 The revised Building RegulationsPart L1 require that when fitting a new oil fired heating system, the systemshould be

a) gravity hot water and pumpedheating
b)fully pumped with a boiler interlock
c) heated by combination boiler only
d) installed by CORGI registeredplumbers.

6 On a fully pumped system using a 3port mid-position valve, neither the heating nor hot water can be runindependently. The most likely cause is that the
a) cylinder thermostat is faulty
b) room thermostat is faulty
c)3 port valve is defective
d) pump is running constantly

7In an indirect system of heating andhot water, which includes a cold water storage cistern and a feed and expansioncistern

a)the water level in the feed and expansion cistern should be below that of thecold waterstorage cistern
b) the two cisterns bases should be atequal level
c) the water level in the feed andexpansion cistern should be above that of the cold water storage cistern
d) the water levels in the twocisterns should be equal.

8 Before filling a central heatingsystem for the first time, it is advisable to

a) remove all radiators and replaceeach with a piece of temporary piping
b) turn the pump on to assist with thefilling process
c) ensure that all radiator valves areleft in the closed position
d)remove the pump (accelerator) and replace with a piece of temporary piping.

22 Which of the following is regardedas best practice when branching a large new radiator circuit into an existingheating circuit in cold weather?

a)Drain the system down as the first action.
b) Branch into the pipework beforefitting the radiators.
c) Install the new radiators andpipework runs before branching in.
d) Install the radiators, branch intothe pipework and install the new pipework.

I'd say c for 22 because you're keeping the existing heating on for longer before having to break into it.

Otherwise you seem to be doing well.

i agree. keep reading the books

 

[jase158]

8 is C isn't it?
and 1A is c too?

I think, might be wrong?

 

[Howsie]

Read the books! You should be embarrassed asking these questions in all honesty!

Do you want me to send you the page numbers?

 

[moony]

Read the books the answers are in there your doing ok though for a total newbie with no experience the wording can be daunting.....

But nobody and I mean no one should be embarrassed about asking questions on this forum - that's why it's here 🙂

 

[Howsie]

It's not asking questions though it's asking for answers. If you'd have highlighted the answers which you thought were correct we can see where you might be going wrong.

 

[glenno1]

its all in the trelor book

Hello everybody

I have completed mt C&G 6129 Basic Plumbing Studies Level 2. I only failed 1 exam!!! I really want to take my BPEC Water Regulation 1999 exam. But concered that I might fail it because I've not started 6129 Level 3 plumbing, yet! Also, could somebody send me some exam questions [email protected] Cheers

 

[PlumbBobBob]

mohammed, water regs is really easy to do it is all open book. you are given the water regs to read through before the exam. you are then given a talk about them. the exam itself gives you the question then goes on to tell you where you will find the answer in the book (which is more like a folder actually).

 

[Mohammed786]

Cheer mate! 🙂

PS - all the answers to No12 are wrong!

(d) Cold distribution pipe must be lower than the cylinder cold feed pipe.

I wouldn't have been able to answer this a few days ago but I had a flick through the trelour book after answering another thread on here yesterday or the day before and learned (re-learned) a thing or two.
The answer is 'd' because if a mixer shower is present you want the hot to run out before the cold to prevent scalding.
