PIPE-1032Piping Materials Theory
Safely transporting water, gas, steam, and waste requires specialized materials and practices. In this foundational course, students learn fundamental skills and code rules for identifying and installing materials specific to each of the Plumbing, Steamfitter-Pipefitter, Gasfitter, and Sprinkler Fitter trades. Students will apply mathematical formulas to determine sizing and installation requirements for pipe, tube, and tubing, including cast iron, black iron, galvanized iron, copper, lead, plastic and glass. Students will learn methods for cutting, joining, supporting, and testing piping systems while practicing safe handling and storage methods.
