SUMMARY:Plumbing 101 for Non-Technical Employees
DESCRIPTION:Plumbing 101 for Non-Technical Employees\nLIVESTREAM\nBrad Perkins\nFriday\, October 23\, 2026\n7:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. MST\nMember: Free\nNon-Member: $179 \nThis introductory course provides a practical overview of plumbing systems commonly used in mechanical construction\, designed specifically for non-technical professionals seeking a clearer understanding of how these systems function and are applied in the field.\nParticipants will explore the fundamentals of domestic water distribution\, including pipe sizing\, system layout\, and key components such as backflow preventers\, booster pumps\, and pressure considerations. The course will also cover sanitary systems\, including pipe sizing\, slope requirements\, and the role of lift stations in effective wastewater management.\nIn addition\, attendees will gain insight into specialized systems and equipment such as oil and sand interceptors\, grease traps\, and kitchen plumbing systems. The training will also introduce core concepts related to hydronic systems\, including primary and secondary distribution for chilled water and boiler systems\, as well as pump operation\, pump curves\, and cavitation.\nThe course will further examine water heating technologies\, including traditional\, tankless\, and condensing water heaters\, with an emphasis on system layout for energy efficiency. Important safety and performance considerations—such as hot water delivery temperatures\, scalding prevention\, and Legionella risk—will also be discussed\, along with the role of hot water recirculation systems. By the end of the course\, participants will have a well-rounded foundational understanding of plumbing systems\, enabling them to better interpret plans\, communicate with technical teams\, and contribute more effectively to project discussions.
