MA Plumbing & Fuel Gas Tier 2
The Tier Two Plumbing & Gas Fitting Program builds on the fundamentals introduced in Tier One with 110 hours of advanced code, system design, and trade instruction. Students develop a stronger understanding of drainage, sanitary waste and venting systems, plumbing traps, cleanouts, potable water distribution, gas fitting, blueprint reading, and applied trade mathematics. Course topics include: • Sanitary drainage and sewage disposal systems • Building drains, waste stacks, vent stacks, and vent terminals • Massachusetts-approved plumbing materials and installation standards • Plumbing traps, trap seals, cleanouts, joints, and connections • Massachusetts licensing, permitting, inspection, and disciplinary requirements • Potable water sources, treatment, storage, service, and distribution • Water pressure, volume, weight, and pipe-ratio calculations • Natural gas and propane characteristics, combustion, burners, and gas pressure • Gas piping materials, testing procedures, metering, regulators, and CSST requirements • Mechanical schedules and isometric pipe drawings • Key definitions from the Massachusetts Plumbing and Gas Codes This second-tier program strengthens each student’s technical knowledge and code proficiency while preparing them for increasingly complex plumbing and gas fitting work in the field.
