Description
Many different piping systems used to convey fluids (liquids or gases) are installed in industrial and manufacturing plants. The components of these piping systems - pipes, fittings, and valves - are also of different types. To properly install and main piping systems and their components, both a plumber and a pipe fitter must have a thorough understanding of the tools of their trades. They must be aware of how to handle the tools properly, and how to use them in a safe and efficient manner.
