MA Plumbing & Fuel Gas Tier 3
The Tier Three Plumbing & Gas Fitting Program advances students into more complex system design, code application, installation, testing, and safety requirements through 110 hours of specialized instruction. Students gain deeper knowledge of venting, drainage, water distribution, storm drainage, gas piping systems, appliance venting, and fixture installation while continuing to strengthen their understanding of Massachusetts plumbing and fuel gas codes. Course topics include: • Vent stacks, stack vents, wet venting, circuit venting, loop venting, bow venting, and combination waste and vent systems • Sanitary drainage design, pipe sizing, offsets, supports, and provisions for future fixtures • Potable water supply design, water-service sizing, booster systems, and backflow protection • Plumbing system testing, inspection, and jobsite safety requirements • Storm drainage systems and code-compliant installation • Gas piping design, sizing, installation, testing, purging, and appliance venting • Water closet, urinal, bathtub, shower, and anti-scald valve installation • Fixture rough-in requirements, manufacturer specifications, repair, and maintenance • Key definitions from the Massachusetts Plumbing and Fuel Gas Codes This third-tier program prepares students to confidently apply code requirements to increasingly complex plumbing and gas fitting systems while developing the technical judgment needed for professional fieldwork and continued advancement toward licensure.
