Question 4

MATCHING
Match the following terms:
-Abbreviated as dfu;a determining factor based on rate of flow measured in gallons per minute or liters per second into a drainage system from a plumbing fixture;used to size pipe.

Accepted Answer

Drainage Fixture Unit (DFU) is abbreviated as dfu and is a determining factor based on rate of flow measured in gallons per minute or liters per second into a drainage system from a plumbing fixture; used to size pipe.

Answer: H
 Perc test or percolation test, also referred to as a soil test or a soil evaluation, is used to determine the ability of soil to absorb water and is used for the design of septic systems.

Question 5

MATCHING
Match the following terms:
-Vertical pipe conveying wastewater that contains fecal matter;is the same pipe as a waste stack and can be installed with horizontal offsets.

Accepted Answer

Soil stack is the vertical pipe conveying wastewater that contains fecal matter; it is the same pipe as a waste stack and can be installed with horizontal offsets.

Answer: D
 Trap Distance is the distance between the trap and the venting system. It ensures that the trap seal is not siphoned by negative pressure in the drainage system.

Answer: G
 Drainage Fixture Unit (DFU) is a measure of the probable discharge rate of wastewater from a plumbing fixture. It is used to size the pipes, pumps, and other plumbing equipment.

Note: The other terms do not have a direct match or relevance to the given definition.

Question 6

MATCHING
Match the following terms:
-Wastewater that has been separated from solids,but may contain dissolved sewage solids.

Accepted Answer

The term "Effluent" specifically refers to wastewater that has been separated from solids, but may still contain dissolved sewage solids.

Answer: C
 A "Septic tank" is a type of on-site wastewater treatment system that separates solids from wastewater.

Answer: G
 "Drainage Fixture Unit" (DFU) is a unit of measure used to quantify the drainage capacity of different plumbing fixtures, such as toilets, sinks, and showers.

Answer: H
 A "Perc test" (short for percolation test) is a soil test used to determine the rate at which soil absorbs water. This information can be used to determine the suitability of a site for a septic system or other wastewater treatment system.

Note: The other terms listed are also related to plumbing and wastewater systems, but do not directly match the definition given.

Question 7

MATCHING
Match the following terms:
-Vertical pipe that is at least one story in height.Can be installed with horizontal offsets.

Accepted Answer

A stack is a vertical pipe that is at least one story in height and can be installed with horizontal offsets.

Question 8

MATCHING
Match the following terms:
-Trade name for percolation test;a method to evaluate percolation conditions of soil.

Accepted Answer

"Perc test" is the trade name for percolation test, which is a method to evaluate percolation conditions of soil.

Answer: C
 "Septic tank" is not related to percolation test or soil conditions. It is a chamber where wastewater is treated and separated into solid and liquid components.

Answer: G
 "Drainage Fixture Unit" is a unit of measurement for the flow rate of wastewater through plumbing fixtures. It is not related to percolation test or soil conditions.

Answer: B, E, J
 "Stack Vent", "Soil Stack", and "Stack" all refer to a vertical pipe that carries wastewater and/or gas from plumbing fixtures to the main drain or sewer. They are not related to percolation test or soil conditions.

Answer: A, F, K
 "Loop Vent", "Common Vent", and "Relief Vent" are all types of ventilation systems in plumbing that help regulate air pressure and prevent backflow. They are not related to percolation test or soil conditions.

Question 9

What are the two legal methods of waste termination?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What are the two legal methods of...

Question 10

MATCHING
Match the following terms:
-Vertical pipe that connects to a soil or waste stack and extends to open air or connects with another approved vent;can be installed with horizontal offsets.

Accepted Answer

A stack vent is the vertical pipe that connects to a soil or waste stack and extends to open air or connects with another approved vent, and it can be installed with horizontal offsets.
