Plumbers and Pipefitters
Plumbers and pipefitters are skilled tradespeople who install, repair, and maintain piping systems that carry water, gas, waste, and other fluids. Plumbers typically handle residential and commercial plumbing, such as sinks, toilets, and water heaters. Pipefitters often work on larger, more complex systems like heating and cooling systems, industrial pipelines, and high-pressure piping. While their work overlaps, pipefitters usually deal with specialized, high-pressure piping in industrial settings, whereas plumbers focus more on everyday plumbing needs in buildings. Both require technical knowledge, craftsmanship, and safety awareness.
