Description
State Requirements

In the water heating systems and plumbing world, there are many different types and pieces of equipment. And code requirements must be met—no masking tape to hold two pipes together in the installation, right? Each piece of equipment is typically designed for a specific purpose: heating water, moving water, and doing so safely.

This three-hour continuing education course covers water heating capacity and fuel types, flue types, tankless water heaters, heat pump water heaters, and more. How about that manufacturer's data on the equipment? The course covers how to decipher what all that means. On deciphering, home inspection uses almost as many acronyms as the government—but you need to know the correct meaning of each acronym related to plumbing service pipe and gas piping materials, along with the proper installation methods that comply with the code requirements.

Course highlights include:

  • Recognizing various components, types, and operations of water heating systems
  • Determining water heater tank sizing, data tag info, fuel and flue types, and overall capacities
  • Identifying the unique issues associated with tankless water heaters
  • Recalling details for combination boiler system applications and heat pump water heaters
  • Determining plumbing material acronyms for various materials
  • Identifying the purpose of venting and related code requirements
