Exam Details

The Tennessee Limited Licensed Plumber examination is administered by Prov for the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. The current LLP examination contains 40 questions, and candidates receive 2 hours to complete the test.

The current examination outline includes 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 category, accounting for 10 questions. Isometrics is the next-largest area with 7 questions. Code Requirements, Water Supply and Distribution, and Fuel Gas Systems each account for 4 questions. Candidates should therefore spend meaningful study time on drainage and venting, plumbing diagrams, code navigation, water systems, and fuel gas concepts while still reviewing every topic on the examination outline.

Open Book Test

The Tennessee Limited Licensed Plumber examination is an open-book test. Candidates may use references authorized for the LLP examination under Prov's current testing rules.

The current Prov LLP reference list identifies the International Plumbing Code, 2021; Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters, 8th Edition; and Plumbing Basics for Contractors, 4th Edition, 2021 as primary exam references. The International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 and Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA) included with this package provide additional focused study material for Fuel Gas Systems and OSHA Safety.

Open-book testing still requires preparation. Candidates should practice finding definitions, plumbing tables, drainage provisions, venting rules, water-supply information, formulas, and trade concepts before test day. Knowing which book to use and where information is likely to appear can reduce unnecessary searching.

The highlighted and tabbed books included with The 1 Package help organize that process. Candidates should use the prepared books throughout their course study so the tabs, chapter arrangement, indexes, and major subject areas become familiar navigation points.

Licensing Steps

Determine whether the LLP license applies to your work. Tennessee's Limited Licensed Plumber license applies to qualifying plumbing work costing less than $25,000 per project in municipalities using the Tennessee Division of Fire Prevention for permits or inspections. Local requirements remain important, so applicants should understand the rules that apply where they intend to perform plumbing work.

Prepare for the LLP examination. Candidates should study according to the current Prov exam outline and work regularly with the applicable plumbing references. The 1 Package includes 1 year of course access to support an organized preparation schedule.

Take the LLP trade examination. The Limited Licensed Plumber license is issued to individuals who satisfy Tennessee's applicable requirements and pass the LLP trade examination administered through Prov.

Prepare the licensing application. The Tennessee Board currently requires LLP applicants to complete the Initial Limited Licensed Plumber application and provide the required identification information. Application Service is included with The 1 Package to support this stage of the process.

Establish the business entity. The 1 Package includes Business Formation for an LLC or corporation. The business entity is separate from the individual LLP license, so forming a business does not replace the licensing requirement held by the individual plumber.

Obtain an EIN. EIN Filing with the IRS is included. An Employer Identification Number can be used when opening business bank accounts, handling business taxes, hiring employees, and conducting business financial activities.

Address ongoing compliance. Contractor Compliance Guidance is included to help customers understand licensing, business, and compliance considerations associated with operating a plumbing business in Tennessee.

State Requirements

The Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors regulates the Limited Licensed Plumber program. The LLP license is an individual credential for qualifying plumbing work under Tennessee's limited plumbing licensing framework.

The license applies to plumbing work with a total cost of less than $25,000 per project in municipalities that utilize the Tennessee Division of Fire Prevention for permits or inspections. Tennessee also states that general maintenance work costing less than $500 is exempt from the LLP licensing requirement.

The LLP license covers qualifying plumbing work within residential or commercial buildings involving piping, fixtures, and appliances for supplying gas, water, or other liquids and for disposing of wastewater or sewage. Tennessee's LLP framework does not extend the license to plumbing work outside residential or commercial buildings such as utility connections or irrigation systems.

Local requirements still apply. Tennessee advises plumbers to check with the local government where work will be performed because municipalities may maintain their own plumbing licensing, permit, and inspection requirements.

Plumbers planning to perform projects at or above the LLP monetary limit should also understand the difference between the Limited Licensed Plumber license and Tennessee's contractor-level plumbing classifications. The appropriate credential depends on the scope, project value, location, and nature of the work.

Test Information and Study Materials

Effective LLP preparation should begin with the largest exam categories. Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems accounts for 10 questions, so candidates should spend substantial time reviewing drainage piping, vent systems, traps, fittings, sizing concepts, materials, and related plumbing-code provisions.

Isometrics accounts for 7 questions. Candidates should practice following piping through diagrams, recognizing drainage and vent relationships, interpreting system arrangements, and applying plumbing knowledge to illustrated layouts. Isometric preparation benefits from repeated practice rather than reading alone.

Code Requirements and Water Supply and Distribution each contain 4 questions. The International Plumbing Code, 2021 is particularly useful for these topics. Candidates should learn how to locate provisions through the index, chapter headings, definitions, and tables.

Fuel Gas Systems also contains 4 questions. The International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 supports detailed study of piping, sizing, appliance installation, combustion air, vents, chimneys, and related gas-system requirements.

Mathematics for Plumbers and Pipefitters, 8th Edition supports Plumbing Math preparation. Candidates should actively solve problems involving measurements, dimensions, formulas, and plumbing-related calculations so the procedures become more familiar before testing.

OSHA Safety currently accounts for 2 questions. The OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 reference provides additional construction-safety material that can help candidates review workplace hazards and safe work practices associated with plumbing and construction jobsites.

The 1 Package includes 1 year of course access, allowing candidates to organize their study over an extended period. Candidates can review one exam category at a time, work through practice-oriented preparation, revisit weak subjects, and combine course instruction with regular book navigation.

Highlighted and tabbed references can make study sessions more efficient by helping important sections stand out. Candidates should still learn what each tab represents and practice navigating without relying on random searching. The goal is to identify the subject, choose the appropriate reference, and reach the applicable material efficiently.
