Topic outline

  Course Overview

  Introduction
  

  The role of plumbing in our lives as humans is simply remarkable. Plumbing has continued to solve the urgent need of delivering fresh clean water, whilst draining out the foul liquid wastes simultaneously from our homes.

  The fresh water is transported by pressure from your water storage unit, a well or from your city’s public fresh water system. The other, often referred to as waste water is taken out of your home through gravity applied to the “discharge pipes” to a place called a “sewer” or “septic tank”. All these processes are done through the water pipes. The slimmer ones are typically the ones holding your clean water while the fatter ones, well you probably guessed right–waste water; basically.

  This module describes the skills, knowledge and attitudes required by a trainee to perform pipe joining. It involves Identification and Selection of tools, equipment and materials to be used and Clipping the pipe work according to the location in order to have a strong and tightened pipeline.
