Haryana BSEH Secondary NSQF Plumbing study plan

Identify and name at least 15 plumbing hand tools (pipe wrench, basin wrench, hacksaw, pipe cutter, flaring tool, reamer, spirit level, plumb bob, chalk line, tape measure, try square, files, dies and stocks, spanners, caulking gun) from a self-made flashcard set and match each to its correct use without notes

List at least 10 trade-safety rules covering personal protective equipment, manual handling of pipes, ladder use, confined spaces, electrical isolation before work, and safe storage of solvent cement and LPG cylinders, and state the reason for each rule in one sentence

Demonstrate correct measuring technique by marking and cutting three practice PVC pipe lengths to within 2 mm of a target dimension using tape measure, try square and hacksaw, and record the deviation for each cut

Explain first-aid and emergency response for cuts, eye contact with solvent cement, and gas-cylinder leaks in a short written note of at least 120 words

Classify plumbing pipes by material (GI, PVC, CPVC, UPVC, PPR, copper, HDPE, cast iron) and state at least two applications, one pressure/temperature limitation and one joining method for each

Identify at least 12 fittings (elbow 90 and 45, tee, reducer, coupling, union, cap, nipple, bend, P-trap, floor drain, bib cock) and match each to a sketch of where it is used in a line

Read nominal pipe sizes and pressure ratings from a size chart and convert between inch and millimetre designations for six common sizes

Cut and thread one GI pipe end with a pipe vice, die and stock, checking thread quality against a standard fitting and recording any cross-threading or run-out defect

Describe the correct procedure for solvent-cementing a PVC/CPVC joint, from cleaning and applying primer to quarter-turn insertion, holding time and cure time, and list at least four causes of joint failure

Practise making two solvent-cement joints and one threaded joint, then pressure-test the assembly at low pressure and record whether any leak appears at the joints

Explain the sequence of operations for lead-caulked and molten-lead cast-iron soil pipe joints and compare it with compression and push-fit jointing in a written comparison of at least 150 words

Select the correct joining method for six given scenarios (underground drainage, hot-water line, concealed wall run, repair in an occupied kitchen, main water entry, rainwater downpipe) and justify each choice

Draw a simple single-storey house water supply layout showing the main, storage tank, distribution branches, valves and at least five fixture connections, and label pipe sizes on the drawing

Explain direct, indirect and partial-indirect water supply systems and state one advantage and one limitation of each in at least 120 words

Assemble a small layout using pipes and fittings that includes one tee branch, one reducer and one valve, then verify that flow reaches both outlets and that the valve isolates only its branch

List at least six common water supply faults (low pressure, air lock, leaking valve, water hammer, contaminated tank, blocked aerator) with the likely cause and a first corrective action for each

Compute pipe sizes and storage-tank capacity for a three-fixture bathroom and a kitchen using a simple fixture-unit or demand-based method, showing the calculation steps

Draw a drainage layout showing soil pipe, waste pipe, vent pipe, traps, inspection chamber, gully trap and connection to the sewer, with correct gradients marked

Explain the purpose of venting, trap seals, invert level, gradient and inspection chambers, and state the recommended fall for a 100 mm soil line in at least 150 words

Identify and describe the installation points for at least six sanitary fixtures (water closet, wash basin, kitchen sink, floor drain, urinal, bathtub or shower) including trap and connection requirements

Diagnose five given fault scenarios (slow-draining sink, gurgling trap, leaking flush tank, continuously running cistern, sewage smell in bathroom) and write the probable cause, the test to confirm it and the repair step for each

Describe the procedure for clearing a blocked drain with a plunger, drain snake and rodding eye, and state the safety precautions for each in at least 120 words

Describe the procedure for replacing a tap washer, a bib cock and a P-trap, listing the tools and the steps in correct order

Carry out one real or simulated repair (tap washer or trap replacement) and record the before-and-after condition with a short test result

Write a preventive-maintenance checklist of at least 10 periodic tasks for a household plumbing system, stating the interval and the risk each task prevents

Prepare a simple customer quotation for one bathroom-fitting job, including material cost, labour, time estimate and a realistic profit margin, showing the arithmetic

Explain work ethics in the plumbing trade by covering punctuality, honesty about material quality, safe disposal of waste, respect for the customer's property and confidentiality, in at least 150 words

List at least five sources of start-up support for a small plumbing enterprise (skill loans, registration, GST, insurance, local contractor networks) and state what each provides

Role-play a customer complaint about a repeat leak and write the response you would give, including apology, inspection offer, warranty position and follow-up commitment

Revise all eight domains using the earlier deliverables and flashcards, and score at least 80 percent on a self-made 60-question mock test weighted to the exam domain percentages

Re-attempt every question answered incorrectly on the mock test and write the correct reasoning for each in one or two sentences

Recite from memory the safety rules, the jointing sequence, the drainage gradient rule and the water supply system types without referring to notes

Complete one timed practical task under 45 minutes combining measuring, cutting, jointing and leak testing, and record the time taken and any defects
