Duct Sizing, Design, and Hanging and Support Requirements contains four questions. Candidates should practice using the Ductulator, recognizing airflow and sizing relationships, and locating applicable hanger and support requirements.

Plenums contains four questions. Candidates should understand supply and return plenum concepts, construction methods, materials, and how plenums connect to the larger air-distribution system.

Appliance Venting and Combustion Air contains five questions involving vent and combustion-air sizing, clearance to combustibles, equipment installation, and vent or combustion-air supply terminations.

Safety contains three questions. Preparation should include personal protective equipment, safety training, ladders, fall protection, lockout/tagout, first-aid responsibilities, signs and barricades, and related OSHA construction-safety topics.

Open Book Test

The Oklahoma Sheet Metal Journeyman examination is an open-book test. Candidates may use approved technical references while following the applicable PSI requirements for examination-room materials.

The approved technical reference list includes the ACCA Ductulator; International Mechanical Code, 2018 with Oklahoma revisions; Fibrous Glass Duct Construction Standards, Fifth Edition, 2002; HVAC Duct Construction Standards, Metal and Flexible, 2005, 3rd Edition; Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA); and Sheet Metal.

The examination was prepared using an earlier edition of the non-code Sheet Metal reference, while later editions of qualifying non-code references may be used. The Sheet Metal, 2nd Edition included with this package supports preparation for general trade knowledge, tools, fabrication, materials, welding, and plan reading.

Approved reference materials may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before testing. Permanent tabs are permitted. Temporary removable tabs such as Post-it notes are not allowed. Candidates should become familiar with testing rules before arriving at the examination center.

All books included with this Ultimate package are highlighted and tabbed to support navigation practice. Candidates should use the prepared books throughout their studies so important sections, duct standards, safety provisions, and sizing information become easier to locate.

The Ductulator should be practiced regularly. Candidates who are already comfortable using the sizing tool can spend more time interpreting the question and less time figuring out how the reference works.

The International Mechanical Code supports preparation for ventilation, exhaust, appliance venting, combustion air, plenums, duct systems, and other code-based mechanical subjects. Candidates should become comfortable using the index, chapters, definitions, tables, and related code organization.

The Fibrous Glass Duct Construction Standards and HVAC Duct Construction Standards support more specialized duct-construction questions. Students should understand which reference is most useful for fiberglass ductwork, metal ducts, flexible ducts, reinforcement, hanging, support, fabrication, and installation details.

Licensing Steps

The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board regulates Sheet Metal Journeyman licensing as part of the state's mechanical industry. Candidates must satisfy the applicable experience and application requirements before receiving examination authorization.

1. Begin working in the mechanical trade. Gain qualifying sheet metal experience while working within Oklahoma's mechanical licensing structure.
2. Maintain apprentice registration when required. Oklahoma mechanical experience used toward licensing generally must be supported by proper apprentice registration unless the experience was lawfully obtained under an applicable exception.

State Requirements

Applicants for an Oklahoma mechanical journeyman license must be at least 18 years old and meet an approved experience or education pathway for the mechanical category sought.

One standard pathway requires three years of verifiable experience in the mechanical trade in the category being pursued. Oklahoma treats one year of verifiable mechanical experience as 2,000 hours.

Approved mechanical education can be combined with field experience under qualifying pathways. Candidates using education toward licensing eligibility should maintain records showing completion of the applicable program and classroom hours.

Equivalent verifiable mechanical experience gained through qualifying United States military service may also be considered. Applicants holding qualifying out-of-state mechanical licenses may have additional pathways available when their licenses and supporting experience satisfy Oklahoma requirements.

Applicants using Oklahoma mechanical experience toward licensing generally must maintain apprentice registration during the qualifying periods of work unless the experience was legally obtained under an allowable exception.

The Sheet Metal Journeyman classification authorizes the license holder to install, alter, modify, service, maintain, or repair ferrous and nonferrous duct and exhaust systems within the scope of Oklahoma mechanical licensing.

A journeyman does not hold the same contracting authority as a mechanical contractor. Journeymen perform licensed trade work within the required employment and supervision structure rather than independently contracting to furnish mechanical labor or labor and materials.

Candidates should maintain accurate records of apprenticeship, employers, education, hours worked, and the type of sheet metal work performed. Organized documentation can support both initial journeyman licensing and later advancement toward contractor licensing.
