PHASE II

Plumbing Rough-In

That’s all water supply and drainpipes have been run through bored holes in the studs and other framing members and that all pipe connections have been made. Plumbing rough-in is the portion of construction where the supply and waste lines for the building go into place. In homes with slab foundations, the rough-in occurs before contractors pour in the slab. Typically, waste lines go in first because the pipes that take wastewater from the building are larger than supply lines. After installing the waste lines, no sinks, faucets, or other fixtures and end elements have yet been installed at this phase II Next, the water supply lines are installed the plumbers will then lay in the water supply piping. Roughing in requires careful planning of the locations of the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room. The plumbers must lay the water supply lines for these places and cap off their ends.  Before the rest of the construction can take place, the system needs pressure testing to spot any leaks. After testing, an inspector will verify the integrity of the roughed in plumbing before allowing the construction to continue.

Q.  What is a plumbing rough-in inspection?

A. Rough-in is the stage of a construction project when the various mechanical, electrical, and plumbing lines are brought in. Once the framing is up, the rough-in stage of construction begins. This is when lines are laid out, but final connections are not made until other stages of the project are completed.

B. A plumbing rough-in means that all water supply and drainpipes have been run through bored holes in the studs and other framing members and that all pipe connections have been made. A rough-in plumbing installation will need to be pressure-tested before it is deemed complete.

C. The HVAC rough in period refers to when the HVAC ductwork has been installed, yet no plumbing, electrical, or exterior walls have been put into place. This is so that inspectors can have a much easier time coming in and going over each aspect of the ductwork, making sure that it is not contaminated and is fit for use.

D. Rough-in inspection is the stage of a building project in which different mechanical, electrical, and plumbing works are checked. Once the framing is complete, the rough construction stage starts. This is when lines are drawn up, but final connections are made after other project phases have been completed.

Q.  What is code for a shower drain

A. While a shower usually requires a 2-inch drainpipe, the vent pipe must be either 1 1/2 inches or 2 inches depending on local requirements. Be sure to double check this to see what the code is in your area.

B. The drain hole should be a minimum of twelve inches away from the wall and 9 inches in scope. Too rough in the drain, use a 1.5-inch pipe.

C. The water supply line runs out of the wall into a hole in the back of the vanity, typically placed at a height of 22 to 24 inches from the finish floor. The sink drain is then situated just 4 inches inward from the water supply line.

D. This means the Drain will typically sit 3-5” away from the back wall. It is ideal to take measurements and center the drain on the wall.

4 / 10

Q.  Does rough-in plumbing include valves?

A. Water valves regulate the flow and temperature in pipes and plumbing fixtures. When they are installed and operate properly, the valves control constant flow and volume. Materials used for water valves include brass, plastic, stainless steel, bronze, cast iron and galvanized pipe.

B. Yes, A device designed to control and guide the flow of water. Examples include faucets, shower heads, shutoff valves, shower valves, and drinking fountain spouts.

C. No, on your Rough-In, values aren’t needed in the rough plumbing installations consists of routing pipes through wall cavities, running vent stacks to the roof and connecting drain lines and water supply lines to sewer systems, septic systems, or main water supply valve is the only valved used. How far should a shower drain be from the wall and how far should a linear drain be from the wall?

D. Drain lines and water supply lines are connected to sewer systems, septic systems, or main water supply valves. Pipe connections are made. Excavation and laying of underground pipes that run from utility connections to a primary structure is completed.

5 / 10

Q.  What does top out mean in plumbing?

A. "Top out" is a part of roughing in but in the trades "roughing in" refers to us running the pipes up from underground/floor and "top out" refers to above (top of) ground/floor to out the roof.

B. The plumbing stub-outs are the end result of the rough-in phase of plumbing a residential or commercial building. They are usually installed while the walls are still uncovered; and after the drywall work and painting is complete, a plumber comes back and hooks them up to the plumbing fixtures.

C. There are three different types of plumbing systems; sanitary drainage, stormwater drainage and potable water.

D. So to can cleanout in your PVC systems in a building drain.

Q.  What code book do licenses plumbers use?

A. If anyone other than the owner and occupant does the plumbing or if it is a commercial property, the work must be done by an Illinois licensed plumber.

B. Each city has their codes they enforce be advised, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) has released the 2021 edition of the National Standard Plumbing Code – Illustrated (NSPC). An updated version of the 2018 NSPC, the book may be purchased via the IAPMO web store.

C. Applicants must have been employed as a licensed apprentice plumber for a minimum of 4 years and have successfully completed at least 2 years of high school or equivalent in addition to completing an approved course instruction through a college, university, or trade school.

D. After working as an apprentice for a minimum of 4 years but no more than 6 years, you may apply to take the state test for licensing. Once you pass the test, you are a licensed plumber in the state of Illinois.

7 / 10

Q.  How close does rough-in plumbing need to be?

A. For 4-inch PVC piping and a building sewer less than 50 feet long, the minimum slope is 1 inch in 8 feet, or 1/8-inch per foot, and the maximum is 1/4-inch per foot. For sewers longer than 50 feet, the slope should be 1/4-inch per foot

B. It should be between 10 and 14” from the floor. You will need to connect this discharge hole to the drainpipe with a sanitary tee. You can then move on to connect water supply lines to the shower valve or bathtub faucet. Imagine that there is an imaginary line running in the middle of the new fixture.

C. It is dependent upon gravity to function, so all waste pipes must slope downward, away from the fixtures and toward the sewer or septic tank, dropping at a rate of at least 1/4 inch per horizontal foot.

D. All of your drain pipe (with one exception) must slope slightly downhill. Usually 1/8" per foot is plenty for drainage, this is the same as the commonly recommended 1% slope.

8 / 10

Q.  What comes after rough plumbing?

A. A 3-stage system might have “low”, “medium”, and “high”.) Like a hair dryer or a ceiling fan, they have some granularity to their output. Multistage systems are more common in larger and newer homes, and are often found in regions with very cold or very hot weather.

B. After the rough-in plumbing phase, once inspection passes, the remaining parts of the plumbing system (or finish plumbing) can be completed later in the construction process.

C. Three-phase power is a three-wire ac power circuit with each phase ac signal 120 electrical degrees apart. Residential homes are usually served by a single-phase power supply, while commercial and industrial facilities usually use a three-phase supply.

Q.  Where do you start rough-in plumbing?

A. Ductwork Installation - Your HVAC Contractor will start by running the ductwork in the attic, or if your property has a crawlspace or a basement, perhaps in the floor joists.

B. In homes with slab foundations, the rough-in occurs before contractors pour in the slab. Typically, waste lines go in first because the pipes that take wastewater from the building are larger than supply lines. After installing the waste lines, the plumbers will then lay in the water supply piping.

C. Rough-in is the stage of a construction project when the various mechanical, electrical, and plumbing lines are brought in. Once the framing is up, the rough-in stage of construction begins. This is when lines are laid out, but final connections are not made until other stages of the project are completed.

D. In a general sense, rough-in refers to the stage of construction after the basic framing is complete and the initial services (such as wiring or pipes) have been installed, but their end-points (such as outlets or fixtures) have not been installed.

Am-Cat believes the future is paved for structured wiring, structural wiring makes your home and or building smarter, from appliances to lights to blinds to thermostats, smart home devices are finding their way into every nook and cranny in the modern household. In many ways, these devices are making our homes more efficient and user-friendly than ever before. But they’re also clogging up bandwidth on home internet networks and slowing everything down.  Today’s home typically has a full house of connected devices fighting for priority in the routing world; for network attention, including smart TVs, gaming consoles, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and smartwatches. Factor in the rapidly growing consumer adoption of smart home devices, which each suck up even more bandwidth, and the problem is only going to get worse.   One of the biggest benefits of distributing structured wiring throughout the home is the burden it takes off the wireless network. Am-cats understands the importance in telecommunications, structured cabling in your building will do nothing but benefit the building and assisting in the future components that will be utilizing on said property it’s critically important to plan for the future needs of tomorrow’s smart homes.

One of the biggest benefits of distributing structured wiring throughout the home is the burden it takes off the wireless network. Part of that is because more devices can be connected directly but can also strengthen Wi-Fi connections as well. With more speedy and higher bandwidth cabling available, homeowners can take advantage of whole home mesh Wi-Fi systems.  A mesh Wi-Fi system includes wireless satellite nodes that can be plugged directly into a structured wiring Ethernet port in the wall. Once plugged into the wired network, these nodes extend the range of the Wi-Fi router’s full wireless signal, and help the network manage the onslaught of signals it receives.  It’s ironic: The future of connected smart homes lies in something as old school as structured wiring. Those who fail to take these trends into account could soon be scrambling to pivot and catch-up to companies that establish themselves as leaders in smart home future proofing, another reason why Am-Cat is ahead of are competition.

Q.  What can I run with my smart home structural system.

A. You can integrate most (if not all) of your smart home devices with your voice assistant, and then control them with your voice instead of a touch screen interface, by saying things like “turn the bedroom lights on”, “set the thermostat to 75”, and “lock all the doors.

B. You can mix and match throughout your entire home, fitting each individual light with the most appropriate smart light option.

C. Automation systems can raise the value of your home by up to 5%. Others report that it can be up to 35%. Smart homes can make your life easier and save you money.

D. These smart home devices allow you to control things like wifi, door locks, security cameras, video doorbells, smart lights, appliances, heating and cooling and other systems in your home. You've probably heard a lot about home automation systems (aka smart home systems).

E. All The Above.

2 / 22

Q.  What is the difference between Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6?

A. Wi-Fi 6 devices are backward compatible with previous generations of Wi-Fi. You can get a phone with Wi-Fi 6 and connect it to your Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 4 router. You can get a router with Wi-Fi 6 and connect your older Wi-Fi devices to it, too.

B. As Intel put it, "Wi-Fi 6 is capable of a maximum throughput of 9.6 Gbps across multiple channels, compared to 3.5 Gbps on Wi-Fi 5." In theory, a Wi-Fi 6 capable router could hit speeds over 250% faster than current Wi-Fi 5 devices.

C. 2.4 GHz is not as impacted by walls, and as such was able to maintain the same transfer rate, even though it was still quite a bit slower. So the results are clear. Wi-Fi 6 can offer a significantly higher level of throughput than Wi-Fi 5, but in order to do so, it needs a strong signal.

D. Wi-Fi, often referred to as WiFi, wifi, wi-fi or wi fi, is often thought to be short for Wireless Fidelity but there is no such thing. The term was created by a marketing firm because the wireless industry was looking for a user-friendly name to refer to some not so user-friendly technology known as IEEE 802.11.

Q.  What are the three types of cables?

A. The most common sizes you'll find in residential work are 14-gauge and 12-gauge. Larger appliances such as electric stoves, electric water heaters, electric dryers and central air units will often use 10-, 8- or even 6-gauge wire.

B. Fiber optic cable, twisted pair cable, and coaxial cable are the three main types of network cables used in communication systems. Each of them is different and suitable for various applications.

C. Types of Wiring; triplex wires, main feeder wires, panel feed wires, non-metallic sheathed wires and Single strand wires.

D. Ethernet cables come with RJ45 connectors on both ends. Because of this, an Ethernet cable is sometimes designated as an RJ45 cable. These cables are often used to connect computers onto Ethernet networks.

4 / 22

Q.  Which wires are used in RJ45?

A. Cat6 ethernet cables will have 8 copper wires inside them. They have 4 pairs of 2 copper wires surrounded in insulation material. The copper conductors are also twisted together for better performance against crosstalk.

B. Ethernet Cat 5 cables have eight wires (four pairs), but under 10BaseT and 100BaseT standards (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, respectively) only four (two pairs) of these wires are actually used.

C. A Category 7 cable (CAT 7) is used for the cabling infrastructure of Gigabit Ethernet with performance of up to 600MHz. Put simply, a CAT 7 cable is what we recommend you use when wiring your smart home.

D. The RJ45 data cables we use to connect computers to an ethernet switch is straight-through cables. As noted above, the RJ45 cable uses only two pairs of wires: Orange (pins 1 & 2) and green (pins 3 & 6). Pins 4, 5 (blue) and 7, 8 (brown) are NOT used.

5 / 22

Q.  What are the two wiring standards for RJ45 wiring?

A. Cat5, Cat6, and Cat7 cables are the most common RJ45 cables used in today's network connection.

B. If you are looking at wiring RJ45 data jacks and plugs, there are presently two wiring standards that are almost unanimously accepted. These two standards are the T568A and the T568B. There are subtle differences between T568A and T568B, but this doesn't mean they shouldn't be addressed.

C. The RJ45 data cables we use to connect computers to a Ethernet switch is straight-through cables. As noted above, the RJ45 cable uses only 2-pairs of wires: Orange (pins 1 & 2) and Green (pins 3 & 6). Pins 4, 5 (Blue) and 7, 8 (Brown) are NOT used.

D. working with only 4 wire stranded cable isn't capable of gigabit ethernet (no surprise there). In fact, it can't even do fast ethernet.

6 / 22

Q.  Do you need Cat6 for WIFI 6?

A. The right cable for Wi-Fi 6? Category 6A cables, especially those from Hitachi Cable America, are designed to support up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making them perfect for Wi-Fi 6. In fact, BICSI recommends installing 2 Category 6A cables per Wi-Fi access point.

B. Does WiFi 6 require new hardware? It's important to note that WiFi 6 relies on hardware updates rather than software updates, so new hardware is needed in order to see any boost in performance.

C. As technology continue to advance toward its maximum theoretical throughput of 10 Gb/s, each Wi-Fi access point is expected to require a minimum of two Cat 6A connections. It's not just speed you'll need to worry about.

D. 5g with Mm-Wave technology doesn't penetrate walls, most building materials, such as cement and brick, attenuate and reflect very high-frequency signals with a big enough loss you're unlikely to receive a very useful signal moving from inside to outside.

7 / 22

Q.  What is a telecom room?

A. Telecommunications closet means a room for housing telecommunications equipment, cable terminations, and cross- connect wiring that serve that particular floor.

B. An equipment room is considered distinct from a telecommunications room because it is considered to be a building or campus serving (as opposed to floor serving) facility and because of the nature or complexity of the equipment that it contains.

C. A telecommunications room consolidates all connectivity from the enterprise network and building control systems and distributes it to pre-determined areas of the enterprise. It is the “horizontal” convergence point between the building's network backbone and workstations and conference rooms, or your utility room in homes.

D. In telecommunication, a telecommunications service is a service provided by a telecommunications provider, or a specified set of user-information transfer capabilities provided to a group of users by a telecommunications system.

B. Shielded cables.

C. Twisted pair cables.

D. Coaxial cables.

E. Fiber optics cable.

F. All The Above.

9 / 22

Q.  Is RJ45 the same as CAT5?

A. Although Cat5e does support Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) over short distances it's a good idea to use Cat6 instead as this is designed to carry more data and you're less likely to get any issues with it.

B. All of the smart TVs currently accept an Ethernet cable at the back of the TV, while most also support wireless connection. To connect to the internet, you will need to set up a home network, and the process is very similar to connecting a laptop.

C. The difference between RJ45 and CAT5 is that RJ45 means electrical interconnection standards that is a connector whereas CAT5 is a standard related to the ethernet cables. CAT5 is easily replaceable, which makes managing them more manageable. In contrast, replacing RJ45 is difficult.

D. An Ethernet connection is generally faster than a WiFi connection and provides greater reliability and security.

10 / 22

Q.  Do I need Cat5 or Cat6?

A. Cat 7 cables aren't officially supported by any home networking equipment manufacturer so they will be operating as Cat 6 cables due to backwards compatibility. You might as well get a Cat 6 cable.

B. If you want faster internet speeds, Cat6 is a good choice. It reduces something called “crosstalk” — signal transfers that disrupt your communication channels. If you are happy with your current internet speeds, however, Cat5 might be all you need. Besides, Cat5 cables tend to be cheaper than Cat6.

C. Remember, Cat5 has long been the “gold standard” of Ethernet cables and still does the job. If you are happy with your current internet speeds or have moved your server to the cloud, this type of cable is great. Cat6, on the other hand, provides you with enhanced performance and reduces crosstalk.

D. If we are talking about HDBaseT, then yes Cat5E (minimum), will support 4k video signal. To be more specific, 4k/UHD@30 YCbCr 4:4:4 8bpc, or 4k/UHD@60 YCbCr 4:2:0 8bpc. It will support HDR (HDR10 or HLG) and Dolby Vision

11 / 22

Q.  What is a structured wiring package?

A. Structured wiring is a general term that refers to a whole-house network of audio, video, data, telephone, television, home automation or security signals. Wiring plan consists of coaxial cables, several fiber optics cables, and lots of Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, etc). Structured wiring can be run to every room in a home and terminated with a variety of specialized wall plates and ports for easy plug and play connection to the home network.

B. A structured wiring media panel has several functions. They terminate and distribute signals from service providers (telephone, DSL, CATV, cable modems, wireless devices, etc.) and provide a single, secure location for smart home control modules.

C. Structured wiring is not only organized but also has growth in mind because it can support high bandwidth. It allows you to upgrade your telecommunication system without a major overhaul. Installing a structured wiring system is also cost-effective because it makes changes, additions, and moves easier

D. If you're building a new home, seriously consider having smart wiring installed. Many people mistakenly believe smart wiring is a cable system, like cable TV. In fact, it's a wiring system you can use to integrate all the smart technology you use in your home. Smart wiring can be surprisingly inexpensive.

C. The Type-C connector was designed to enhance smaller device design and is physically smaller than previous USB connectors; openings are approximately 8.4mm by 2.6mm. This connector has come a long way from its ancestor with four wires.

D. A pink switch would be positive when the circuit is closed. White or gray neutral conductors are used in the commercial sector.

16 / 22

Q.  What are the 4 wires in a USB cable?

A. The red wire is a positive power wire with 5 volts of DC power, the black wire is the ground wire (similar to most all electronic devices), the white wire is a "positive" data wire, and the green wire is a "negative" data wire.

B. 4 different USB wire colors: white and green, which carry data, and red and black, which are used for power. Red carries 5 volts and acts as the positive wire, while black is the negative wire, otherwise known as the ground wire.

C. USB cable has four conductors, two for power and two for data. The data wires are 28 AWG, the power wires are 20 to 28 AWG. The power cores are un-twisted, and the data lines twisted. Longer cables will use 20 AWG for power.

D. All The Above.

17 / 22

Q.  Can I extend a USB cable with Cat5?

A. A simple way of extending USB is by using extension cables. USB extension cables are useful for extending devices over shorter distances and typically max out at around 3m in length. An alternative to standard 'passive' USB extension cables is a USB Active Extension cable.

B. One option would be to get a USB over Cat5 extender. These devices use Cat5e or Cat6 cable to extend your USB devices to distances of around 50 to 60 meters (around 150 to 200 feet).

C. Due to its design, USB cable has a normal maximum length of about 5 meters (16.4 feet), but you can get longer distances by using an active USB extension cable from Monoprice!

D. Due to its design, USB cable has a normal maximum length of about 5 meters (16.4 feet), but you can get longer distances by using an active USB extension cable from Monoprice!

Calling In All Rough Inspections

General contractors are responsible for scheduling inspections as permitted work progresses so that the Department of Buildings may inspect and verify the work being done is consistent with the permit drawings and the building code.  All building permit-related inspections must be requested using the online forms, found below. Only requests submitted on-line will be accepted.  Please do not attempt to schedule a permit-related inspection by phone.

The Department of Buildings responds to all requests for permit-related inspections on a first-come, first-served basis. You may request a specific date, and the Department will attempt to honor that request if an inspector is available. When requesting a specific date, please allow a minimum of 4 business days to 2-4 weeks.
