Introduction

 
Overview This is an overview of Waste Systems, EN5112
 
Proponent This subcourse is issued by the--

U.S. Army Training Support Center
Newport News, Virginia  23628-0001

 
Purpose This subcourse will enable you to prepare, connect, and install pipes in a waste system of a building. Made of different materials, these pipes must sometimes be cut and the ends prepared to take fittings. The pipe-to-pipe or pipe-to-fitting connections are made with lead, collars, threads, solvent cement, and solder, depending on the pipe material used. As the pipe system is installed, it must be supported with hangers and holders. Sometimes, the building structure must be cut into when installing the waste and vent pipeline runs for lavatories, sinks, water closets, and urinals. Once a system of rough-in waste pipelines with venting is installed, it is tested for leaks.
