Notes
Requires a licensed qualifier; replacing or changing a qualifier costs $50. Installing backflow preventer devices is within the scope of some other classifications (for example S330 and S410) only if 2 of the 6 CE hours relate to backflow installation (R156-55a-301 and 303b). Individual plumber licenses expire Nov 30 of even years. Renew online through My License One with a UtahID login.
