The F24-N examination is the ICC National Standard Master Plumber examination based on an earlier International Plumbing Code cycle. Participating jurisdictions may use it as part of a master plumber, plumbing contractor, qualifying-individual, or supervisory licensing process.
The examination includes 100 multiple-choice questions and has a four-hour time limit.
The examination is open book, subject to current testing rules for approved references, tabs, highlighting, handwritten notes, inserted materials, and book condition.
Most ICC Contractor and Trades examinations require at least 70 percent correct, but candidates should confirm the passing requirement in the bulletin or with the licensing authority responsible for their application.
Passing F24-N does not automatically issue a master plumber license. Candidates must also satisfy applicable experience, application, insurance, business, financial, and supervisory requirements.
The current F24-N preparation information identifies the following primary reference:
The 2015 International Plumbing Code covers plumbing administration, approved materials, fixtures, water heaters, water supply and distribution, sanitary drainage, vents, traps, interceptors, separators, storm drainage, testing, and related system-design requirements.
Candidates should confirm that the 2015 edition matches their scheduled exam before purchasing materials or registering for testing.
Preparation should address the complete range of master plumber subjects, including:
Before purchasing materials or scheduling the examination, candidates should verify:
A master plumber may design, install, alter, repair, inspect, test, and supervise plumbing systems within the scope permitted by the applicable licensing authority.
Common responsibilities may include:
Master plumber candidates should understand how plumbing projects move through plan review, permitting, inspection, testing, correction, and final approval.
Study subjects may include:
Master-level candidates may need to interpret plumbing plans, fixture schedules, riser diagrams, isometric drawings, specifications, and construction details.
Plan-reading subjects may include:
Candidates should connect information shown on plans with the applicable plumbing code provisions.
Plumbing materials must be approved for the system, pressure, temperature, installation location, and environmental conditions.
Materials may include:
Candidates should identify the piping system before selecting a material, fitting, joining method, support requirement, or test procedure.
Pipe joints must be compatible with the piping material and suitable for the system conditions.
Joining methods may include:
Candidates should also understand how approved transition fittings are used when connecting different piping materials.
Plumbing piping must be supported and protected to prevent sagging, movement, corrosion, joint stress, and physical damage.
Important subjects may include:
Fixture requirements address approved products, installation, supports, clearances, water connections, drainage connections, and accessibility.
Common fixtures include:
Candidates should review fixture-unit values, minimum fixture quantities, clearances, traps, supports, waste connections, and water-supply connections.
Some examination questions may require candidates to determine the minimum number of fixtures for a building or occupancy.
Important considerations include:
Fixtures must have sufficient space for use, cleaning, maintenance, and accessibility.
Study areas may include:
Water heater questions may involve installation location, temperature control, pressure protection, drainage, accessibility, and safety devices.
Candidates should review:
Storage water heaters require approved protection against excessive temperature and pressure.
Study subjects may include:
Water-distribution systems must deliver potable water at suitable flow and pressure to every required fixture and appliance.
Study subjects may include:
Master-level water pipe sizing may require candidates to evaluate fixture load, developed length, available pressure, elevation, meter loss, and equipment pressure loss.
A practical sizing process includes:
Candidates should identify whether the question concerns a water service, building supply, riser, branch, or fixture connection.
Water pressure must be sufficient to operate fixtures while remaining within safe limits for piping, valves, and equipment.
Study considerations may include:
Backflow prevention protects potable water from contamination caused by backsiphonage or backpressure.
Candidates should review:
The type of potential contamination and degree of hazard determine the required protection.
Hot-water systems must provide suitable temperatures while controlling heat loss, scald hazards, and excessive pressure.
Study subjects may include:
Sanitary drainage systems carry wastewater from fixtures to the building sewer or another approved disposal point.
Important subjects include:
Drainage fixture units represent the probable discharge load produced by plumbing fixtures.
Candidates may need to:
Drainage pipe size and slope must support the expected discharge while maintaining effective flow.
Candidates should review:
The correct table depends on the location and orientation of the drainage piping described in the question.
Drainage fittings must direct wastewater smoothly and reduce conditions that could cause blockages.
Study subjects may include:
Cleanouts provide access for inspection, cleaning, and removal of drainage obstructions.
Candidates should review:
Fixtures below the level of the gravity building sewer may require a sump and pumping system.
Study subjects may include:
Vent systems protect trap seals and allow drainage systems to operate at atmospheric pressure.
Common venting methods include:
Candidates should identify the venting method before applying sizing and connection requirements.
Vent size may depend on connected drainage fixture units, developed length, and the drainage piping served.
Trap-arm questions may involve:
Candidates should practice locating and applying vent-sizing and trap-arm tables under timed conditions.
Wet and circuit vent systems allow specific drainage piping to provide venting when all required conditions are satisfied.
Candidates should review:
Plumbing vents must terminate where sewer gases will not enter the building or create an unsafe condition.
Study areas may include:
Fixture traps maintain a water seal that helps prevent sewer gases from entering occupied spaces.
Important subjects include:
Interceptors and separators remove grease, oil, sand, sediment, lint, solids, and other materials before they enter the drainage system.
Common devices may include:
Candidates should review required locations, sizing, accessibility, venting, maintenance, and prohibited connections.
Grease interceptors may be required for commercial kitchens and other operations that discharge fats, oils, or grease.
Study considerations may include:
Storm drainage systems remove rainwater from roofs and other approved surfaces.
Study subjects may include:
Storm drainage sizing may depend on roof area, rainfall rate, pipe slope, gutter size, and conductor capacity.
Candidates should practice:
Plumbing systems may require inspection and testing before piping is concealed or placed into service.
Study areas may include:
Plan-reading questions may require candidates to interpret fixture layouts, piping diagrams, risers, slopes, pipe sizes, and system connections.
Candidates should practice identifying:
A master plumber may be responsible for supervising field personnel and confirming that installations match approved plans and plumbing code requirements.
Quality-control checks may include:
Plumbing work may involve excavation, pressurized piping, hot work, confined spaces, ladders, power tools, and contaminated systems.
Important safety subjects include:
An open-book examination still requires fast and accurate reference navigation. Candidates must know where major plumbing subjects are located before test day.
A practical lookup method includes:
Candidates should practice using fixture-unit, water-supply, drainage, vent, and storm-drainage tables under timed conditions.
A practical tab system may include:
Candidates should verify current testing rules before adding tabs, highlighting, handwritten notes, or other modifications.
