Sprinkler Fitting 2

Sprinkler Fitting 2 builds on Sprinkler Fitting 1 by expanding students’ ability to layout and assemble fire sprinkler piping systems using shop drawings and industry standards. Students strengthen technical accuracy through applied calculations and component selection while practicing installation, inspection, and basic troubleshooting procedures. This course was developed in partnership with the industry experts at the American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) and is the second level in a four-level program.
