PLUMBING
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Recognize proper tool accountability and safety;
recognize procedures for laying out wastewater systems, water distribution
systems, and joining different types of piping; and recognize accessories used in
their construction.
Plumbing plays a major role in the construction of
all types of residential, commercial, and industrial
buildings. Of all the building trades, plumbing is most
essential to the health and well-being of the
community, in general, and to the occupants of the
buildings in particular. It is an obligation and
responsibility for each and every Utilitiesman to
uphold the vital trust placed in him or her for proper
installation of plumbing materials and equipment.
Each plumbing installation is governed by the rules
and regulations set forth in local plumbing codes that
have been adopted from standards established at the
local, state, and federal level. As you progress in rate as
a Utilitiesman, it becomes your job to ensure that codes
established for the job are carried out. You may soon
be the supervisor or instructor responsible for training
Utilitiesmen under you.
In this chapter you are introduced to the tools
required for plumbing and to the different types of
materials used in underground and aboveground
piping. You will discover where, why, and when to use
certain materials during installation and repair of these
piping systems.
