A. 20 mm
B. 25 mm
C. 30 mm
D. 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 handrails
B. the compliance of fixtures to applicable water ratings
C. the quantity of lining material is sufficient to do the job
D. 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 bases
B. allow room for shower bases and baths to expand and contract with changes in temperature from hot water
C. stop water from bridging between fixtures and being drawn into the frame
D. 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 sheet
B. change the plumbing layout
C. install additional subfloor framing and support members
D. 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 shape
B. use long timbers to wedge it down from the ceiling until the mortar sets
C. level the two front edges as this is where the shower screen must go
D. level the two back edges so the wall tiles will not end up being cut at an angle

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
