What is a Steamfitter/Pipefitter?
Steamfitters/pipefitters install and repair low and high pressure piping systems and their components, including heating and processing applications. They also do gas fitting.
Steamfitters/pipefitters will:
- Read and interpret drawings, blueprints, and specifications to determine layout requirements.
- Cut openings for pipe in walls, floors, and ceilings using hand and power tools or machines.
- Select type and size of pipe required.
- Measure, cut, thread, and bend pipe to required shape using hand and power tools.
- Install supports, valves, piping, and control systems.
- Remove and replace work components and reactive systems.
- Weld, braze, cement, solder, and thread joints to join pipes and fabricate sections of piping systems.
