Exam Details

The Arizona Plumbing Residential / Commercial Contractor (CR-37) exam is a trade-focused contractor examination for candidates pursuing the Arizona residential and commercial plumbing classification. Candidates should prepare for technical content related to plumbing systems, plumbing code, fuel gas systems, mechanical systems, water distribution, sanitary drainage, venting, pipe sizing, fixtures, hydronic heating, boilers, sprinkler systems, wastewater provisions, underground utility awareness, plumbing math, pipe trades data, and safe jobsite practices.

The Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 supports preparation for OSHA construction safety requirements. Plumbing contractors may work around trenches, ladders, scaffolds, crawl spaces, equipment rooms, hand tools, power tools, piping systems, pressurized systems, hot work, boilers, mechanical areas, and active construction jobsites. Safety preparation helps candidates review hazard awareness, worker protection, personal protective equipment, excavation safety, ladder safety, tool safety, material handling, and safe construction-site practices.

The International Plumbing Code, 2018 supports preparation for plumbing code requirements. Candidates should become familiar with code organization, definitions, fixtures, water distribution, sanitary drainage, vents, traps, interceptors, storm drainage, materials, joints, pipe sizing, testing, installation requirements, and plumbing system coordination. Plumbing code navigation is one of the most important skills for open-book exam preparation.

The International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 supports preparation for fuel gas systems. Candidates should review gas piping, appliance connections, combustion air, venting, sizing concepts, materials, installation requirements, pressure testing, shutoff valves, regulators, and safety-related gas system provisions. The International Mechanical Code, 2018 supports preparation for mechanical systems that may connect to plumbing and hydronic work, including equipment, ventilation concepts, boilers, hydronic systems, fuel-burning appliances, piping, and mechanical code organization.

NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 2019 supports preparation for sprinkler system requirements in building applications. NFPA 13D, 2019 supports one- and two-family dwelling and manufactured home sprinkler system concepts. NFPA 13R, 2019 supports sprinkler systems for residential occupancies up to and including four stories in height. Together, these references help candidates prepare for sprinkler-related concepts that may intersect with plumbing system knowledge and water-based fire protection requirements.

On-site Wastewater Treatment Facility Provisions in Unified Water Quality Permit Rule, Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 9, 2006 supports preparation for wastewater treatment facility provisions used in Arizona. Candidates should review the organization of this reference and become familiar with terminology, permitting concepts, system provisions, and wastewater-related requirements that may connect to plumbing work.

Open Book Test

The Arizona CR-37 Plumbing Residential / Commercial Contractor exam is an open-book exam. Open-book testing allows approved references to be used during the exam, but candidates still need to prepare carefully. The exam format rewards candidates who understand plumbing work, know the references, and can locate information quickly while working under time limits.

For this exam path, candidates should become familiar with each listed reference before test day. Open-book preparation should include learning each book’s table of contents, index, chapter layout, definitions, tables, diagrams, illustrations, code sections, safety sections, and major topic areas. Candidates should not wait until the exam date to begin using the references.

Plumbing questions may require candidates to identify OSHA safety requirements, apply plumbing code rules, locate fuel gas provisions, review mechanical code concepts, understand sprinkler system standards, complete pipe trades calculations, review wastewater provisions, evaluate boiler-related topics, or answer hydronic heating questions. Strong preparation means knowing the subject well enough to identify the correct topic and knowing the books well enough to locate supporting information quickly.

Open-book does not mean the answers will be easy to find. A candidate who is unfamiliar with the references may lose valuable time searching through the wrong section or using the wrong book. A prepared candidate can recognize the type of question, choose the most useful reference, move to the right section, and apply the information with confidence.

Candidates should practice with the references under timed conditions. A helpful study routine includes reviewing major code chapters, locating common plumbing and gas topics, using indexes, reading tables, practicing calculations, reviewing sprinkler standards, studying hydronic and boiler references, and connecting field experience to the listed books. This type of preparation is especially important for a broad residential and commercial plumbing exam because the reference set covers multiple systems and technical areas.

Licensing Steps

The Arizona contractor licensing process is handled through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Candidates pursuing the CR-37 Plumbing Residential / Commercial Contractor classification should begin by confirming that the CR-37 classification matches the type of residential and commercial plumbing work they intend to perform.

After confirming the classification, candidates should prepare for the required contractor examination process. This Ultimate package supports CR-37 trade exam preparation through the listed rental references and 1 year of course access. A strong study schedule should cover OSHA construction safety, plumbing code, fuel gas code, mechanical code, sprinkler systems, residential sprinkler standards, wastewater provisions, plumbing math, pipe trades handbook information, boilers, underground utility awareness, hydronic heating, and residential and commercial plumbing installation concepts.

Once candidates are ready to test, they must follow the current examination registration process through the approved testing system. After completing the required examinations, the licensing process continues with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors application. The application stage may involve business information, qualifying party information, license classification selection, financial or bonding items, background-related documentation, and other state-required materials.

This Ultimate package includes Application Service to help candidates stay organized during the licensing application process. Application Service supports the paperwork side of the licensing path after exam preparation, helping candidates move from study preparation into application readiness with a clearer structure.

A complete licensing plan should include both exam preparation and application preparation. Candidates should study consistently, organize their references, review the classification requirements, and stay focused on the full licensing process rather than only the test date. This package supports that path with rental books, course access, and Application Service.

State Requirements

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors licenses and regulates contractor classifications in Arizona. Arizona issues separate licenses for commercial and residential work, along with dual classifications that cover both commercial and residential work for a particular trade or field. The CR-37 Plumbing classification is the dual residential and commercial plumbing contractor classification.

The CR-37 classification supports contractors preparing to perform plumbing work in both residential and commercial settings. Plumbing work may involve water distribution, sanitary drainage, venting, fixtures, gas piping, hydronic systems, boilers, pipe trades work, sprinkler-related piping concepts, wastewater-related provisions, underground utility awareness, and related plumbing construction within the permitted scope of the classification.

Arizona contractor licensing is separate from trade experience, employment history, or purchasing exam preparation materials. Candidates must complete the applicable state licensing process before performing regulated contracting work as a licensed contractor. That process may include examination requirements, application documents, qualifying party information, business details, bonding or financial requirements, and other documentation required by the state.

This package supports the exam preparation side with the listed books and 1 year of course access. It also supports the licensing paperwork stage with Application Service. Together, these package elements help candidates prepare for the CR-37 trade exam and stay organized as they work toward the Arizona residential and commercial plumbing contractor licensing goal.
