In Residential Plumbing, students build a strong foundation in the tools, terminology, and techniques relevant to the plumbing industry. After receiving a comprehensive overview of safety guidelines and practices, students practice assembling and disassembling a lavatory faucet. As they progress through the program, they install a kitchen sink faucet and set up a kitchen sink drainage system, a showerhead and faucet, shut-off valves, water heater connections, and other plumbing components. With each hands-on project, students learn about the different types of pipes and fittings, common plumbing issues in households, and much more.
