    Hi all:

    In my area, the answer is every 10 feet (at every hub and every change of direction).. so answer is B

    For 5 foot hub & spigot pipe it's every 5 feet (every hub)... ;)

    Update.

    After procrastinating taking the master plumber exam for almost a year, I finally had time to bite the bullet. So I drove three hours to the testing area, got a hotel, and studied one last time. Long story short,, I am now officially a licensed master plumber.


    Goodbye journeyman, hello master.

    Thanks Milo. And yep, after all, its just a title of achievement, but I will still have to crawl up in the attic full of thirty year old pink unfaced insulation on Monday. In the back of my mind ill be thinking, well at least I'm an itchy master instead of an itchy journey.lol.

    Goodbye journeyman, hello master.
    As one who can appreciate the distinction between a Master and a Journeyman under the UPC (the strictest Plumbing Code in the Lower 48), I offer my congratulations as well.

    BTW, I'd start studying up on the International Plumbing Code in your spare time; Two more revisions, three tops, before the UPC is abandoned altogether.

    Thanks for the heads up Widdershins.

    I look forward to the day that all of the united states, if not the whole world fall under one stardard plumbing code(of course with certain local variences). Although I don't see that happening any time soon, I sure would like to see steps taken towards it in my lifetime.
