PIPEFITTER

You will independently install, modify, and repair complex new and existing high-pressure piping systems and associated equipment, including steam-heating, steam generation, hydraulic systems, flash tanks, and circulating pumps. You will plan and lay out the routing, placement, pitch, incline, and elevation of piping systems and equipment by working directly from building plans, blueprints, and technical sketches. You will use shop mathematics to calculate angles, arcs, and circles, and figure the precise pipe, joint, and valve sizes required to support system pressures and control movement or vibration. You will determine the correct placement levels, install, and align critical system components such as risers, flexible branches, expansion joints, pressure regulators, and vacuum pumps. You will test completed installations and repairs to ensure proper circulation, flow, and pressure, verifying that all joints are entirely leak-free and compliant with trade standards.
