Haryana BSEH Senior Secondary NSQF Plumbing study plan

Haryana BSEH Senior Secondary NSQF Plumbing · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Pipe Joining, Threading, Bending and Fixing Techniques & Plumbing Tools, Materials and Pipe Fittings

  • Classify the four main pipe materials (GI, PVC, CPVC, copper) by pressure rating, temperature limit and typical use, and write a one-line justification for each choice

  • Thread a 15 mm and a 20 mm GI pipe with a die head, then check the thread with a thread gauge and record the number of imperfect threads

  • Bend a 15 mm copper or PVC pipe to a 90-degree offset and verify the bend radius and alignment with a try square

  • Explain the difference between BSP, NPT and metric threads and state where each appears on fittings used in Indian plumbing

  • List the standard pipe fittings (elbow, tee, reducer, union, coupling, nipple, cap, bend) and match each to a sketch of its position in a run

Your checkpoint

A thread-and-bend practice log with 10 measured joints, each showing pipe size, thread count, bend angle checked with a square, and pass/fail

Week 2

Pipe Joining, Threading, Bending and Fixing Techniques & Plumbing Tools, Materials and Pipe Fittings

  • Assemble a 6-joint GI line using tees, elbows and a union, applying jointing compound or PTFE tape correctly and tightening to a leak-free state

  • Join a PVC line with solvent cement, describing surface preparation, cement application and curing time before pressure testing

  • Compare compression, push-fit and solvent-weld joints on cost, skill needed and repairability, and pick the right one for three given site situations

  • Identify the common causes of joint failure (over-tightening, dirty threads, wrong cement, no primer) and state the correction for each

  • Read a fitting catalogue page and extract size, pressure class and end connection for five fittings

Your checkpoint

One assembled practice manifold of at least 6 joints that holds 1.5 times working pressure for 30 minutes with no visible leak, plus a short note on each joint type used

Week 3

Sanitary Drainage, Soil, Waste and Vent Systems & Sanitary Fixtures, Fittings and Appliance Installation

  • Draw a single-line diagram of a two-storey house drainage system showing soil pipe, waste pipe, vent stack, trap and inspection chamber

  • Distinguish soil, waste and vent pipes by function and state the minimum diameter rule for each in a small dwelling

  • Explain the purpose of a water seal and a trap, and calculate the trap seal depth needed to resist siphonage in a given layout

  • Describe the causes of self-siphonage, induced siphonage and back pressure, and list three layout changes that prevent them

  • State the slope requirements for a 100 mm and a 50 mm drain branch and show the fall over a 6 m run

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn drainage and vent layout for a two-storey house with every pipe labelled by type, diameter, slope and vent connection

Week 4

Water Supply Systems, Storage and Distribution & Sanitary Fixtures, Fittings and Appliance Installation

  • Trace the path of water from overhead tank to a tap, naming every component (ferrule, ball valve, distribution pipe, stop cock, tap) in order

  • Size a distribution branch for two bathrooms and one kitchen using fixture unit counts and a standard pipe sizing table

  • Explain direct and indirect (pumped and gravity) supply systems and choose the right one for a two-storey home with low mains pressure

  • Install and adjust a float valve in a storage tank and set the overflow and washout arrangement correctly

  • Position and fix a wash basin, water closet and kitchen sink at correct heights and with correct trap and connection points

Your checkpoint

A water supply schematic plus a fixture installation checklist covering 3 fixtures with mounting heights, connection sizes and valve positions

Week 5

Water Supply Systems, Storage and Distribution & Sanitary Drainage, Soil, Waste and Vent Systems

  • Calculate storage tank capacity for a family of five using per-capita demand and one day of backup

  • Design a venting arrangement for a bathroom group and check each fixture trap against the vent distance limit

  • Explain how an inspection chamber, gully trap and intercepting trap fit into a house-to-sewer connection and sketch the sequence

  • Identify the causes of foul smell, gurgling and slow drainage in a given layout and propose a fix for each

  • State the testing procedure for a drainage line (water test and air test) and the acceptance criteria

Your checkpoint

A combined supply-and-drainage design sheet for one house, including tank capacity calculation, vent distances checked against limits, and the test method to be used

Week 6

Plumbing Drawing, Estimation, Costing and Material Take-off & Occupational Safety, Health and Hygiene in Plumbing Work

  • Draw a plan and an isometric of a toilet and bathroom showing pipe routes, sizes and fixture positions to a stated scale

  • Take off quantities from your own drawing for pipe, fittings, valves and fixtures, and prepare a priced bill of quantities

  • Estimate labour and material cost for a bathroom plumbing job and add a realistic overhead and profit margin

  • List the personal protective equipment needed for threading, solvent welding, working at height and confined space entry, and state when each is mandatory

  • Describe safe handling and storage of PVC solvent cement, LPG torch work and pipe-cutting tools, and state the first-aid step for cement in the eye

Your checkpoint

A complete estimate package for one bathroom: scaled drawing, material take-off table, priced BOQ and a one-page safety plan for the job

Week 7

Maintenance, Repair, Leak Detection and Testing of Installations & Occupational Safety, Health and Hygiene in Plumbing Work

  • Perform a pressure test on a small line at 1.5 times working pressure, record the gauge reading over 30 minutes and interpret any drop

  • Locate a simulated concealed leak using acoustic and isolation methods and record the method that worked

  • Write a repair procedure for a leaking GI threaded joint, a cracked PVC socket and a dripping float valve

  • Describe the safe procedure for entering a manhole or septic tank, including gas testing, ventilation and standby person duties

  • Prepare a preventive maintenance schedule for a household plumbing system covering tanks, valves, traps and exposed pipes

Your checkpoint

A leak-detection and repair report on two simulated faults, with test readings, method used, repair steps and a preventive maintenance schedule

Week 8

Employability Skills, Entrepreneurship and Workplace Practice & Plumbing Drawing, Estimation, Costing and Material Take-off & Maintenance, Repair, Leak Detection and Testing of Installations

  • Prepare a quotation for a small plumbing contract that states scope, exclusions, payment terms and warranty

  • Explain the documents needed to start a small plumbing business, including GST registration, Udyam registration and basic bookkeeping

  • Answer customer-complaint scenarios on delay, rework and cost overrun using a professional response structure
