COREQUISITES: BCTI - 153 - Plumbing Part 2
PROGRAM: Building Construction Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2022
This course covers the first half of NCCER Plumbing Level 2. Its modules cover topics such as plumbing math, reading commercial drawings, structural penetrations, insulation and firestopping, installing and testing DWV piping, installing roof, floor and area drains. The NCCER Plumbing Level 2 certificate and wallet card will not be awarded until the student successfully completes both this course and BCTI 153.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Describe the Pythagorean theorem and understand methods for laying out square corners. Discusses the techniques used to calculate simple and rolling offsets, as well as offsets on parallel runs of pipe.
2. Identify and interpret civil, architectural, structural, HVAC/mechanical, plumbing, and electrical drawings. Discuss how to ensure accurate dimensions, generate RFIs, and locate plumbing entry points, as well as how to establish piping routes and fixture locations. Isometric drawings, material takeoffs, approved submittal data, and Building Information Management (BIM), are also covered.
3. Apply methods for adjusting structural members, insulating pipe, and installing fire-stopping. Describe reinforcement techniques for modified structural members; how to measure, cut, and install fiberglass and flexible foam insulation; and how to identify walls, floors, and ceilings that require firestopping.
4. Demonstrate how to locate, install, connect, and test a complete drain, waste, and vent (DWV) system. Develop material takeoffs, set up and use levels, locate building sewers and building drains, locate fixtures, and test a DWV system.
5. Demonstrate the proper techniques for locating, installing, and connecting roof, floor, and area drains and floor sinks according to code. Discuss waterproof membranes and flashing, drain components, shower pans, trap primers, and proper drain applications.
6. Attain readiness to take the first half of NCCER Plumbing Level 2 certification exams.
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include -
- Plumbing Math: square layout and offsets
- Reading Commercial Drawings
- Structural Penetrations, Insulation, and Fire-Stopping
- Installing and Testing DWV Piping
- Installing Roof, Floor, and Area Drains
GRADING POLICY
Students must score 70 percent or higher on all module examinations to receive recognition from NCCER. Students must also complete each performance task to the satisfaction of the instructor to receive recognition from NCCER. If either of the above requirements are not met the student will forfeit NCCER certification and will receive a one letter grade reduction for the class.
