  • Water conservation and green plumbing techniques.
Practical Focus

Field‑oriented labs, measurable checklists, and real job cards for market readiness.

Tool & Material Mastery

Learn correct use of pipe tools, adhesives, and pressure testing equipment.

Career Ready

Job cards, estimation basics, and client communication for self-employed success.

1) Introduction & Outcomes

Define the craft: scope, standards, and measurable outcomes for competence.

This orientation frames the plumber’s role in residential, commercial, and industrial contexts. You’ll learn core competencies—installation, testing, repair, and client interaction—alongside a career map from apprentice to master plumber.

  • Expected competencies: pipework, drainage, fixture installation, pressure testing.
  • Job readiness: estimate creation, time management, and safety documentation.
Quick Deliverable

Draft a simple job card for a bathroom renovation: materials, man‑hours, test plan.

2) Tools & Materials

Right tool, right join—efficiency and longevity.

  • Pipe cutters, reamers, basin wrenches, threaders, and press tools.
  • Sealants: PTFE tape, anaerobic sealants, solvent cements—application and curing.
  • Materials: PVC, uPVC, CPVC, GI, copper, PEX—where and why to use each.
Material Table

Compare cost, durability, and suitability for potable water vs drainage systems.

3) Safety & Best Practices

Protect yourself and occupants—safety is non‑negotiable.

  • PPE checklist: gloves, goggles, hearing protection for noisy tools.
  • Gas detection and ventilation for confined spaces and sewer access.
  • Working at heights: harnesses, scaffold safety for external plumbing.

Understand SDS sheets, safe storage of solvents and cleaning agents, and correct disposal methods.

4) Pipe Systems & Joints

Learn joining methods and why each matters for longevity.

  • Solvent welding for PVC, compression fittings, soldering for copper, crimping for PEX.
  • Threaded joints and proper sealing with PTFE/compounds.
  • Testing joints: pressure testing protocols and acceptable leak rates.
Lab Exercise

Create a 3‑meter PEX cold-water run using crimp fittings; pressure test to 6 bar for 15 minutes.

5) Water Supply Systems

From mains to tap: design, pressure, and flow considerations.

  • Cold & hot water layout, risers, branch sizing, and balancing flow.
  • Pump selection basics, pressure tanks, and maintaining adequate head.
  • Backflow prevention, non-return valves, and potable water protection methods.
Sizing Task

Estimate pipe diameter for a 3‑bathroom residence assuming peak simultaneous demand.

6) Sanitation & Drainage

Gravity, falls, vents—designing reliable drainage systems.

  • Trap function, trap seals, and preventing siphoning with proper venting.
  • Drain gradients, manhole access, and grease/interceptor considerations.
  • Septic systems vs. connected sewer: design and maintenance basics.
Practical

Assemble a trap + vent setup and verify that the trap seal holds under test conditions.

7) Fixtures & Appliances

Correct installation ensures performance and reduces callbacks.

  • Installing WC pans, cisterns, showers, faucets, and pressure relief arrangements.
  • Water heaters: storage & instant, safety valves, expansion control, and flue considerations.
  • Appliance hookups: dishwasher, washing machine drainage & inlet requirements.
Installation Checklist
  • Fixture level & alignment
  • Proper sealing and torque settings
  • Function test and client handover note

8) Maintenance & Repair

Systematic diagnosis reduces repeat visits and cost.

  • Leak tracing: pressure testing, dye tests, infrared where applicable.
  • Common repairs: seal replacement, pipe relining, P-trap unclogging techniques.
  • Planned preventive maintenance schedules for commercial clients.
Case Study

Pinpoint and fix subterranean leak in a tiled bathroom without demolishing finishes; document non-invasive approach.

9) Green Plumbing & New Tech

Water efficiency, rainwater harvesting, and sustainable choices.

  • Low-flow fixtures, dual-flush systems, pressure-reducing valves.
  • Rainwater harvesting basics and simple filtration for non-potable reuse.
  • Solar water heating systems and integration with existing plumbing.
Mini Project

Design a rainwater harvesting plan for a small clinic: storage, filtration, and non-potable uses.

10) Projects, Assessment & Certification

Validate hands‑on skills through measurable rubrics and capstone projects.

  • Module quizzes and instructor-assessed practicals.
  • Capstone project: full bathroom plumbing, pressure test, and handover document.
  • Certificate with verifiable competencies and optional marketplace listing.
