pipefitter
Industrial plumbing tradesperson
A pipefitter is a tradesperson who installs and maintains piping systems—for steam, water, gas, or chemicals in industrial, commercial, and residential settings.
The work overlaps with plumbing but typically involves larger-scale systems and higher-pressure applications: The pipefitters finished the heating system ahead of schedule.
Pipefitters read blueprints, cut and thread pipe, and weld or braze connections.
