The 1 Package: All-Inclusive New Mexico Natural Gas Fitting Contractor MM-2 Exam, Licensing & Business Setup

The 1 Package is an all-inclusive preparation and business setup solution for candidates pursuing the New Mexico Natural Gas Fitting Contractor MM-2 exam. This package is designed for candidates who want exam preparation, rental reference books, licensing support, and business setup guidance in one organized solution. It supports candidates studying natural gas piping, mechanical code requirements, fuel gas concepts, pipe trades reference use, refrigeration and air conditioning fundamentals where applicable, plumbing code material, New Mexico plumbing and mechanical code provisions, contractor business preparation, application support, and business formation needs.

This package includes the listed MM-2 references: Uniform Mechanical Code, 2021, Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, 22nd edition, IPT’s Pipe Trades Handbook, Robert A. Lee, 2016, Uniform Plumbing Code, 2021, New Mexico Plumbing Code (NMAC 14.8.2), 2015, and New Mexico Mechanical Code (NMAC 14.9.2), 2015. These references support preparation for natural gas fitting topics, mechanical systems, piping practices, fuel gas-related code material, pipe sizing awareness, fittings, valves, installation requirements, safety concepts, plumbing and mechanical code navigation, New Mexico code provisions, tables, figures, definitions, and open-book exam preparation.

The package also includes business books listed as Includes Lines 2-4. These business books support broader contractor licensing preparation when business and law study materials apply to the candidate’s licensing path. Candidates preparing for the MM-2 exam should use the technical references for trade exam preparation and the business books for business-related licensing study.

Natural gas fitting contractor exam preparation requires more than field experience. Candidates may already have experience with gas piping, fittings, appliances, combustion air awareness, venting awareness, pressure testing, pipe materials, valves, regulators, connections, mechanical equipment, service work, troubleshooting, and jobsite coordination. The exam also requires the ability to locate information inside multiple references and apply trade knowledge in an open-book testing environment.

The 1 Package is built to support that process from several angles. It includes rental books for study, 1 year of course access, Application Service, Business Formation support, EIN Filing with the IRS, and Contractor Compliance Guidance. Candidates can study the technical references while also receiving support with business setup steps that are important for operating professionally as a contractor.
