1. A horizontal line of notches may be cut out around a bath for the purpose of fitting a bath edge support. The maximum depth of these cutouts is:A. 20 mmB. 25 mmC. 30 mmD. 35 mm

2. Before lining the walls you must ensure that you have accounted for:A. any additional framing needed to support fixtures such as vanities, shower screens and handrailsB. the compliance of fixtures to applicable water ratingsC. the quantity of lining material is sufficient to do the jobD. the room size is adequate for the fixtures proposed to go in it

3. The purpose of a capillary break is to:A. allow the frame to move without affecting fixtures such as bath, vanities or shower basesB. allow room for shower bases and baths to expand and contract with changes in temperature from hot waterC. stop water from bridging between fixtures and being drawn into the frameD. provide a space into which a sealant may be pumped to stop leaks but allow movement

4. The installation of a spa bath over a bearer and joist flooring system may require you to:A. use a heavier floor sheeting such as 19 mm thick fiber cement sheetB. change the plumbing layoutC. install additional subfloor framing and support membersD. paint a waterproof sealant under the spa bath area

5. If the shower base you are about to install is twisted such that you can only get two edges level, not all four, then you should:A. use a heavy object (bags of cement, buckets of water) to twist it back into shapeB. use long timbers to wedge it down from the ceiling until the mortar setsC. level the two front edges as this is where the shower screen must goD. level the two back edges so the wall tiles will not end up being cut at an angle

6. Kitchens and exposed balconies are not included in the NCC Vol. 2 BCA’s definition of wet areas.True    False

10. An advantage of wet area plasterboard over fibre cement sheet as a lining in bathrooms is that it has significantly better thermal and acoustic properties. In addition, it also handles frame movement better.True    False
