Plumbing Distributor Training
Make sure your distributors have the technical knowledge they need.
To provide the best customer service that they can, Plumbing Distributors need to have an in-depth understanding of the tools, equipment, and machinery that they sell. From maintenance to insulation, this courseware reinforces their product knowledge and helps them develop client relationships built on trust.
They'll also learn details on the latest national fuel gas and plumbing codes. Be sure your employees have mastered the concepts covered in the Warehousing and Distribution Education Core Training before they begin the plumbing coursework here. Students enrolled in this program learn to:
- Discuss the types and the use of the common hand and power tools, metals and measuring instruments used by plumbers and pipefitters.
- Describe the basic maintenance techniques for tanks, pumps and plumbing fixtures.
- Describe the procedures for laying out, supporting, and testing piping systems.
- Identify the equipment and techniques used in gas and arc welding and cutting.
