Introduction |
|
Overview | This is an overview of Water Supply Plumbing II, EN5111. |
Proponent | This subcourse is issued by the--
U.S. Army Institute for Professional Development (AIPD)
|
Purpose | This subcourse will enable you to join and install various kinds of pipes that can be used to complete the water supply system of a building. Made of different materials, these pipes must be cut and the ends prepared for fitting connections to form leakproof joints. These connections are made with threaded joints, fused joints, and compression joints, depending on the type of piping material used. As the water supply pipeline runs are installed, they must be supported with hangers and holders. Sometimes, the building structure must be cut into when installing the water supply pipeline runs for the lavatories, sinks, and water closets. Once a rough-in water supply system is installed, it is tested for leaks. This water supply subcourse is presented in two lessons, each corresponding to a terminal learning objective. |
