Exam Details

The Tennessee Limited Licensed Plumber examination is administered by Prov. The current examination contains 40 questions and allows candidates 2 hours to complete the test.

The current LLP exam outline covers General Knowledge, Plumbing Math, Code Requirements, Water Supply and Distribution, Water Heaters, Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems, Fixtures & Fittings, Isometrics, Fuel Gas Systems, and OSHA Safety.

• General Knowledge: 3 questions
• Plumbing Math: 2 questions
• Code Requirements: 4 questions
• Water Supply and Distribution: 4 questions
• Water Heaters: 2 questions
• Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems: 10 questions
• Fixtures & Fittings: 2 questions
• Isometrics: 7 questions
• Fuel Gas Systems: 4 questions
• OSHA Safety: 2 questions

Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems is the largest individual section of the examination, with 10 questions. Isometrics follows with 7 questions. Code Requirements, Water Supply and Distribution, and Fuel Gas Systems each contain 4 questions. Candidates should give these areas focused attention while still preparing for every subject on the examination outline.

The two-hour testing period gives candidates an average of three minutes per question. Some questions may be answered quickly, while calculations, isometric drawings, or detailed code lookups can require additional time. Preparation should therefore include both plumbing knowledge and efficient use of technical references.

Open Book Test

The Tennessee Limited Licensed Plumber examination is an open-book test. Prov permits candidates to use references listed for their specific examination, subject to current testing rules and procedures.

The current Prov LLP examination references include the International Plumbing Code, 2021; Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters, 8th Edition; and Plumbing Basics for Contractors, 4th Edition, 2021. These references support code navigation, plumbing calculations, and practical plumbing trade preparation.

The International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 and Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA) included with this package provide additional study support for Fuel Gas Systems and OSHA Safety. Candidates should use only references authorized for their specific examination when reporting for testing.

The books in this package are highlighted and tabbed to support easier navigation during study. Candidates should repeatedly work with the prepared references so important chapters, tables, definitions, formulas, and subjects become familiar before exam day.

An open-book format should not be treated as a substitute for preparation. Candidates who already understand plumbing terminology and know where to find information are better positioned to use their testing time efficiently. Practice should include identifying the subject of a question, selecting the appropriate reference, locating the relevant section, and applying the information correctly.

Licensing Steps

Determine whether the LLP license applies to your plumbing work. Tennessee's Limited Licensed Plumber credential applies to qualifying plumbing projects costing less than $25,000 in municipalities utilizing the Tennessee Division of Fire Prevention for permits or inspections. Plumbers should also check local requirements before beginning work.

Prepare for the Limited Licensed Plumber examination. Candidates should use the current exam outline to guide their preparation. This package combines plumbing references with 6 months of course access so candidates can work through major subjects and develop stronger reference-navigation skills.

Schedule and complete the trade examination. Prov administers the Tennessee LLP trade exam. Candidates should register for the correct examination and follow the provider's scheduling and testing requirements.

Complete the Tennessee LLP application. The LLP license is issued to individuals who meet the applicable state requirements and complete the trade examination requirement. Applicants must submit the required Tennessee licensing application and provide the requested identification and supporting information.

Confirm local licensing and permit rules. An LLP license does not eliminate local requirements. Municipalities, counties, code departments, and other authorities may impose additional licensing, permitting, inspection, and code requirements.

State Requirements

The Tennessee Limited Licensed Plumber license is regulated through the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. The license is issued to individuals rather than businesses or companies.

The LLP license applies to covered plumbing work costing less than $25,000 per project in municipalities that use the Tennessee Division of Fire Prevention for permits or inspections. Tennessee also identifies general maintenance work costing less than $500 as exempt from the LLP license requirement.

Covered LLP plumbing work can involve piping, fixtures, and appliances within residential or commercial buildings for supplying gas, water, or other liquids and disposing of wastewater or sewage. Plumbing work outside residential or commercial buildings, such as certain utility connections or irrigation systems, is outside the stated LLP scope.

The Limited Licensed Plumber credential is different from a Tennessee contractor license. Plumbers who intend to perform projects requiring contractor licensure need to obtain the appropriate contractor classification for the scope and value of the work.

Local requirements should always be considered. Tennessee directs LLP licensees and applicants to check with the local government before beginning work because municipalities may maintain separate plumbing licensing, permit, and inspection requirements.

Test Information and Study Materials

A strong Tennessee LLP study plan should begin with Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems because this subject contains 10 questions and represents one-quarter of the current examination. Candidates should review drainage systems, vents, traps, fittings, cleanouts, piping materials, sizing concepts, and related plumbing-code requirements.

Isometrics contains 7 questions and deserves dedicated practice. Candidates should become comfortable interpreting plumbing drawings, following piping through a system, recognizing drainage and vent relationships, and applying plumbing principles to illustrated layouts. Working through diagrams repeatedly can help develop the visual understanding required for these questions.

Code Requirements and Water Supply and Distribution each contain 4 questions. Candidates should spend regular study time with the International Plumbing Code, 2021 and become familiar with its definitions, chapter structure, tables, exceptions, and index terminology.

Fuel Gas Systems also contains 4 questions. The International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 provides detailed study material involving gas piping, sizing, approved materials, appliances, combustion air, chimneys, and venting. Candidates can use this book to strengthen understanding of fuel gas concepts during preparation.

Plumbing Math contains 2 questions. Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters, 8th Edition provides focused practice for measurements, dimensions, formulas, and other calculations used in plumbing and pipefitting. Candidates should solve problems themselves rather than simply reading completed examples.

OSHA Safety contains 2 questions. Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 supports safety review by providing construction workplace requirements and information about common jobsite hazards.

Water Heaters and Fixtures & Fittings each contribute 2 questions, while General Knowledge contributes 3. These categories should remain part of the overall study plan so candidates prepare for the complete LLP exam rather than only the highest-weighted subjects.

This package includes 6 months of course access. Candidates can use the course period to break preparation into manageable sections, revisit difficult material, strengthen plumbing mathematics, practice isometric questions, and develop better familiarity with the highlighted and tabbed rental books.

A useful study routine is to begin with the technical concept, then locate the same subject in the appropriate book. Practice using the index, permanent tabs, chapter headings, tables, and definitions until navigating the references becomes more natural. This combines trade-focused review with the reference skills needed for an open-book examination.
