These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 64 topics.
You're in the exam looking at a drawing of a house supply: service pipe, regulator, meter, a run of pipe to three appliances. The question asks where the point of supply is, and you've connected dozens of these, but on paper you can't place it.
You know the job. But the Standard spreads the installation across pages of definitions and clauses, and nobody ever showed you the whole thing in one picture.
In this book, that same installation is one page: service pipe, regulator, meter, consumer piping, isolation valve and appliance, drawn left to right, with the point of supply marked where it belongs.
Pipe sizing, the pressure test, flue terminals, ventilation openings and LPG cylinder location get the same treatment: each one on its own page, drawn the same way.
You look at the exam drawing, you recognise the order, and you know what you're looking for and where it sits.
The rules and the exam, gas basics, the installation, pipe sizing, pressure testing and purging, flues and terminals, ventilation, LPG and commissioning: 68 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You've just run new pipe to a cooktop and a water heater, and the gauge goes on for the tightness test. You need the steps in the right order, without guessing.
In the book you open the pressure testing page and see the gauge connected, the section isolated and every step numbered: strength or tightness, test pressure, wait, read, pass or fail.
Same with pipe sizing, flue terminals in plan and elevation, high and low ventilation openings, LPG cylinder location and commissioning: each one has its own page.
NZ Gasfitter Exam Illustrated is 9 parts, 64 topics on 68 illustrated pages, finishing with how to read the certifying exam diagram sheet and a final revision checklist.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Know what each exam tests and which rules apply to you: trainee vs gasfitter vs certifying gasfitter, the Act, the Regulations and the Standard, and the risk levels of gasfitting.
Natural gas vs LPG, the fire triangle, complete and incomplete combustion, carbon monoxide, kPa and Pa, MJ/h and kW, specific gravity and the Wobbe index.
The whole installation in one drawing, meters and the point of supply, regulators, pipe materials, joints, isolation valves, support and concealment, appliance hook-up.
Size a run without guessing: pressure drop, loads, longest run and fittings allowance, the 6-step method, reading the sizing table and two worked examples, natural gas and LPG.
The test in the right order, every time: strength vs tightness, the test kit, the pressure test in 7 steps, reading the gauge, finding a leak, existing installations and purging.
Draught, open-flued, room-sealed and flueless appliances, the draught diverter, flue materials and routes, terminals in elevation and plan, roof terminals and a 5-step terminal check.
Why appliances need air, high and low openings, the ventilation method, enclosures and cupboards, rooms that need care and extraction fans.
Cylinder parts and sizes, safe cylinder location, changeover regulators, two-stage regulation, converting between gases and LPG in caravans, boats and outdoors.
Commissioning in 8 steps, operating pressure, safety devices, certificates, unsafe installations, the certifying exam diagram sheet, exam-day calculations and the final checklist.

Yes. It isn't a beginner's book: it goes straight to what the exams ask and how it's done on site. It also suits gasfitters trained overseas who need the New Zealand rules.
It's written for New Zealand: AS/NZS 5601.1 as used here, the Gas (Safety and Measurement) Regulations 2010, the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006 and the Board's published exam prescriptions, all in metric units. It isn't an Australian or UK book with a new cover. Always check against the current edition.
No. It's an independent study book, not affiliated with or endorsed by the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board, WorkSafe NZ or Standards New Zealand, and it doesn't reproduce text or tables from the Standard. It doesn't give you a certificate and doesn't count towards your registration: it helps you revise for the exam.
No. It explains the topics with drawings to help you revise. Your training, supervised work and the current Standard still come first.
No. They're written for this book in exam style, to help you find your weak spots. They aren't official exam questions.
