🔧 Measure. Thread. Connect.

Plumbing & Heating students were putting their pipefitting skills into practice as they measured, cut and threaded pipe in the shop.

There’s not much room for “close enough” when it comes to measuring and threading pipe. Students focused on accuracy, clean threads and getting each piece ready for the right fit.

It’s all in the details, and every connection counts.
