ICC Master Plumber w/Gas - G27-N - Books & Courses Rental Package

The ICC Master Plumber w/Gas - G27-N - Books & Courses Rental Package is designed for students preparing for the ICC Master Plumber with Gas exam using the International Plumbing Code, 2018 and the International Fuel Gas Code, 2018. This rental package combines highlighted and tabbed reference books with online course access so students can prepare with organized materials, structured study guidance, and practical reference-navigation support.

Master plumber with gas exams require a strong understanding of plumbing systems, fuel gas systems, water distribution, sanitary drainage, venting, traps, interceptors, storm drainage, fixtures, indirect waste, gas piping, pipe sizing, combustion air, appliance connections, chimneys, vents, testing, inspections, safety provisions, and code-based problem solving. Field experience is valuable, but exam preparation should focus on how to use the approved references quickly and accurately.

The International Plumbing Code, 2018 and the International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 are the reference books included with this rental package. Students preparing for the G27-N exam should become familiar with the organization of both books, including definitions, general regulations, fixture requirements, water supply and distribution, sanitary drainage, vents, traps, storm drainage, fuel gas piping, appliance installation, combustion air provisions, chimney and vent rules, testing, inspections, tables, and exceptions. Many exam questions require candidates to identify the correct reference, locate the correct chapter or table, and apply the code language to a plumbing or fuel gas installation scenario.

This rental package is useful for master plumber with gas candidates, experienced plumbers, plumbing contractors, gas installers, service plumbers, supervisors, plumbing company owners, inspectors, maintenance professionals, and students preparing for a plumbing and gas exam based on the 2018 International Plumbing Code and 2018 International Fuel Gas Code. It is especially helpful for students who want physical reference books that are already highlighted and tabbed, along with online course access for a more organized study experience.

The package is built to help students study in a focused way. Instead of trying to approach two large code books without direction, students can work through course material, review key plumbing and fuel gas topics, and practice using the rental books as exam references. The goal is to build stronger code-navigation habits, better table-use confidence, and a more consistent preparation routine before exam day.

The rental format gives students access to the listed references for preparation while keeping the study process organized. Highlighted and tabbed books can make it easier to practice finding chapters, definitions, fixture tables, drainage provisions, venting rules, water distribution requirements, gas piping rules, pipe sizing tables, combustion air provisions, appliance installation requirements, and testing sections during study. The online course provides additional structure so students can review master plumbing and gas topics in a focused sequence instead of trying to study both code books without a plan.

Exam Details

The ICC Master Plumber w/Gas exam code G27-N is associated with master-level plumbing and fuel gas knowledge and the application of plumbing and fuel gas code requirements to installation, supervision, and trade responsibilities. Students preparing with this rental package should study with the International Plumbing Code, 2018 and the International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 as the primary references.

• Exam Name: Master Plumber w/Gas
• Exam Code: G27-N

Practicing with the same highlighted and tabbed books included in the rental package helps students build confidence and improve reference speed before exam day.

Students should follow current testing rules for books, tabs, highlighting, notes, and reference material condition. The rental books are highlighted and tabbed for study support, and students should use them consistently throughout the course access period so the reference layout becomes familiar before testing.

Licensing Steps

The ICC Master Plumber w/Gas G27-N exam may be used by a jurisdiction, municipality, employer, or licensing authority as part of a master plumbing and gas qualification process. Plumbing and gas licensing rules vary by location, so students should understand how the exam fits into the requirements for the state, city, county, or local authority where they plan to work.

Test Information and Study Materials

Master Plumber w/Gas exam preparation should focus on applying the 2018 International Plumbing Code and 2018 International Fuel Gas Code to plumbing and fuel gas installation scenarios. Students should study definitions, general regulations, plumbing fixtures, water supply and distribution, sanitary drainage, venting, traps, interceptors, indirect waste, storm drainage, fuel gas piping, pipe sizing, appliance connections, combustion air, chimneys, vents, testing, inspections, and safety provisions.

Fixture requirements are a major part of plumbing code study. Students should review fixture types, minimum fixture requirements, fixture unit concepts, fixture installation rules, clearances, accessibility-related fixture concepts where applicable, and requirements for public and private plumbing facilities. Questions may depend on the type of occupancy or the specific fixture arrangement described in the problem.

Water supply and distribution should also receive careful attention. Students should review potable water protection, pipe sizing concepts, supply fixture units, pressure concerns, valves, backflow prevention concepts, cross-connection control, water hammer arrestors, hot water distribution, water heaters where applicable, and installation requirements. Water distribution questions often involve tables, system conditions, or material limitations.

Sanitary drainage is one of the most important master plumbing study areas. Students should review drainage fixture units, horizontal drainage piping, vertical stacks, slope, cleanouts, branch intervals, pipe sizing, materials, fittings, changes in direction, and connection rules. These questions may require careful table use and attention to the details given in the exam question.

Venting is another key plumbing topic. Students should study trap arms, vent connections, vent sizing, stack vents, vent stacks, branch vents, circuit venting concepts, wet venting concepts, relief vents, and vent termination. Venting questions can be challenging because the answer often depends on distance, pipe size, fixture type, drainage arrangement, or the specific venting method allowed by code.

Fuel gas piping is one of the most important gas-related study areas. Students should review piping materials, pipe installation requirements, protection from damage, pipe support, underground piping concepts, aboveground piping, concealed piping, fittings, joints, unions, connectors, shutoff valves, sediment traps, appliance connections, and pressure regulators. These topics connect directly to safe and code-compliant gas system installation.

Gas pipe sizing should receive careful attention. Students may need to use sizing tables based on developed length, appliance input, gas pressure, pipe material, and system configuration. Table-based questions require careful reading and accurate use of the information provided in the question. A small detail, such as pipe type, pressure, length, or connected load, can change the correct answer.

Combustion air and venting are important for safe fuel-burning appliance operation. Students should review combustion air methods, indoor and outdoor air provisions, openings, ducts, confined spaces, unconfined spaces, vent connectors, chimneys, vent materials, draft requirements, vent termination, and appliance-specific venting conditions. These topics often require careful reading because the correct answer depends on the exact conditions provided.

Traps, interceptors, indirect waste, and storm drainage should not be overlooked. Students should understand trap requirements, trap seals, grease interceptors, indirect waste receptors, air gaps, air breaks, storm drainage piping, roof drains, scuppers, gutters, conductors, and drainage sizing concepts. These topics help students prepare for the plumbing side of the G27-N exam.

Testing and inspection requirements are also important. Students should understand drainage system testing, water supply testing, gas piping pressure testing, leak checks, inspection requirements, material approval, system support, protection from damage, appliance connection requirements, and code compliance procedures. These topics help connect classroom preparation with practical field expectations.

Master-level preparation should also include careful attention to supervision, troubleshooting, and code interpretation. While exam questions are answered from the listed references, master-level candidates should be comfortable evaluating complete systems, identifying code conflicts, and recognizing how plumbing and fuel gas requirements work together in a building.

Because the package includes 6 months of course access, students can build a steady study schedule instead of cramming. A strong routine may include reviewing one topic at a time, practicing reference lookup, completing practice questions, reviewing missed answers, and returning to weak areas. Repetition helps students remember where information is located and improves confidence with the books.

When reviewing missed questions, students should return to the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code section connected to the answer. Reading the surrounding code language helps students understand why the answer is correct and how similar questions may be asked. This habit helps build long-term code familiarity and reduces repeated mistakes.
