The Plastics Pipe Institute is partnering with RedVector, a provider of online education, to provide the CEU-style education online course, "Designing PEX Plumbing Systems to Optimize Performance and Efficiency."
PPI Building and Construction Director of Engineering Lance MacNevin narrates the one-hour course.
- By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how the properties of PEX tubing and fittings can improve health, safety and welfare through improved plumbing materials
- Describe three distinct plumbing layouts using PEX systems and compare advantages and disadvantages of each
- Apply test data from published research to demonstrate how design of the plumbing layout can improve system performance and provide faster delivery of hot-water with reduced water waste
- Direct an installer on correct installation techniques for PEX systems to ensure long-term safety and performance
- Discuss how to access industry resources for design and installation questions
