Eligible for County Journeyman License continuing education? No
Description: This class provides an introduction to use of Victaulic couplings, fittings, and systems. At some point in their career, every Journeyman – both service technicians and pipefitters – will encounter installation or removal of Victaulic couplings. This class will include a review of the latest systems including PVC and steam systems. Students will also learn how to use Victaulic groove tape to check for proper groove depth. Students will have the opportunity to practice using the steel and PVC groove machines, install Victaulic fittings on pipe, learn to mark a straight-line pipe using a wrap-around, and cut pipe with a portable bandsaw. This class includes both classroom instruction and shop application of concepts learned.
Objectives: Upon completion of this class, students will:
- Be familiar with old and new couplings and systems for connecting standard steel pipe.
- Be able to discuss systems and techniques.
- Have experience applying and practicing skills and use the PVC groove machines.
