Explore the fundamentals of pipes, valves, and fittings commonly found in water distribution systems. Participants will learn about the mechanical forces acting on water systems performance and strategies to respond effectively when the system fails. This curriculum covers a range of piping and tubing materials, joining techniques, and how-to knowledge on maintaining these components for long term reliability. Students will walk away with a plan of action for rapidly assessing pipe conditions to troubleshoot emergency water line failures and executing field repairs.
