Examples of such fixtures include, but are not limited to, fire pits, fireplaces, barbecue stub outs and tiki torches.

The Industry Advisory stated "Any such water or gas plumbing work that exceeds the limitation of the scope of work defined in NRS 624.150 sub-classification A-10 (F) must be performed by a properly licensed plumbing contractor."
