• Must have a current Plumber’s Apprentice registration.

• Must submit the Drain Cleaner-Restricted Registrant Verification of Training Affidavit.

• Must submit Drain Cleaner-Restricted Registrant application and fee ($18).

►Your initial registration as a Drain Cleaner-Restricted Registrant will be assigned an expiration date

that coincides with your Plumber’s Apprentice Registration expiration date. Your Plumber’s

Apprentice Registration must be current in order to apply for registration as a Drain Cleaner-

Restricted Registrant. Your Drain Cleaner-Restricted Registration number is the same as your

Plumber’s Apprentice Registration number. Your Drain Cleaner-Restricted Registration is held in

addition to your Plumber’s Apprentice registration. You will receive a new pocket card containing both

your Plumber’s Apprentice Registration and your Drain Cleaner-Restricted Registration on the same

card.

You should be knowledgeable of the expiration date printed on the pocket card.

Both

registrations must be renewed each year by the expiration date. Approximately ninety (90) days prior

to the expiration of your registrations, a renewal notice will be mailed to the address that you have

provided to the Board. It is your responsibility to maintain a current address with the Board and

renew your registration on time.

only under the supervision of Responsible Master Plumbers and only under contracts or agreements

to perform plumbing work secured by Responsible Master Plumbers. A Drain Cleaner-Restricted

Registrant may not cut into sewer or waste piping, install cleanouts, and remove p-traps or plumbing

fixtures, unless the Registrant is under the direct, on-the-job supervision of a licensed plumber. While

performing only the work permitted under the Drain Cleaner-Restricted Registration, the Drain
