Plumbing Prepare Take-Off List

This training course is designed to teach the knowledge required to extract information from a construction drawing legend, to identify plumbing symbols, and the use of plumbing materials.

An important part of building construction is the ability to read and understand the information shown on a construction drawing or a set of construction drawings. The drawings show what plumbing facilities are required by using symbols and abbreviations to identify the real material items. The symbols and abbreviations on the construction drawing tell the plumber the location of water and waste pipelines, the type and size of pipe, the type of fittings for pipeline connections, and the location of all the fixtures required.

Once you can read and understand the information on a construction drawing, you can then determine the lengths of pipe required by type and size, the number of different types of fittings by size, and the number of different types of fixtures needed. You will be able to make a list of plumbing materials needed to install any partial or full plumbing system.
