Regional Mechanical Services (RMS), LLC
Description
Overview:
Assemble, install, or repair pipes, fittings, or fixtures of heating, water, or drainage systems, according to specifications or plumbing codes.
High Level Job Functions: Assemble pipe sections, tubing, or fittings, using couplings, clamps, screws, bolts, cement, plastic solvent, caulking, or soldering, brazing, or welding equipment. Fill pipes or plumbing fixtures with water or air and observe pressure gauges to detect and locate leaks. Review blueprints, building codes, or specifications to determine work details or procedures. Locate and mark the position of pipe installations, connections, passage holes, or fixtures in structures, using measuring instruments such as rulers or levels. Measure, cut, thread, or bend pipe to required angle, using hand or power tools or machines such as pipe cutters, pipe-threading machines, or pipe-bending machines. Install pipe assemblies, fittings, valves, appliances such as dishwashers or water heaters, or fixtures such as sinks or toilets, using hand or power tools. Cut openings in structures to accommodate pipes or pipe fittings, using hand or power tools. Anchor steel supports from ceiling joists to hold pipes in place. Maintain or repair plumbing by replacing defective washers, replacing, or mending broken pipes, or opening clogged drains. Direct helpers engaged in pipe cutting, preassembly, or installation of plumbing systems or components. Install underground storm, sanitary, or water piping systems, extending piping as needed to connect fixtures and plumbing. Install green plumbing equipment, such as faucet flow restrictors, dual-flush or pressure-assisted flush toilets, or tankless hot water heaters. Keep records of work assignments. Estimate time, material, or labor costs for use in project plans. Inspect structures to assess material or equipment needs, to establish the sequence of pipe installations, or to plan installation around obstructions such as electrical wiring.
