This course provides students with hands-on training in the tools, materials, and techniques used to cut, connect, and install piping systems commonly found in residential and commercial plumbing. Students will work with PVC, PEX, PEX-A, copper (using both soldering and ProPress methods), and cast iron. The course also introduces blueprint reading and the interpretation of isometric drawings to help students visualize and plan piping layouts. Best practices in material take-off are integrated throughout the course to reinforce cost awareness, accuracy, and jobsite efficiency. Students will gain critical skills in pipe measurement, layout, and joining techniques that prepare them for success on the job.

This course will review math concepts through applied on-the-job situations. This course will also introduce students to the types of drawings and symbols the will see on the job.

This course will introduce you to plumbing as a career, provide plumbing-specific safety training, and familiarize you with the tools of the plumbing trade. The course will wrap up with plumbing-specific customer service training.

In this capstone course, students will apply their knowledge and skills to design, plan, and install a complete residential bathroom plumbing system. Working from a custom layout, students will create a materials list, position and install a shower, bathtub, urinal, toilet, and sink, and connect all fixtures to a central drain-waste-vent (DWV) system. The course emphasizes system layout, fixture placement, code compliance, and water pressure testing. By completing a full installation from planning through final testing, students gain a deeper understanding of system integration, jobsite sequencing, and real-world plumbing workflow.
