Can you ﬁnd your way
through the pipes?
What do you want to
be when you grow up?
Have you ever thought
about being a plumber?
ave you ever turned
on a water faucet?
Taken a bath in a tub
in your house? Flushed a
toilet? If so, it’s thanks to
the skill of a plumber!
Plumbers are the people
who install and repair the
pipes that are needed to
bring water in and out of
your home, school and
other buildings.

You have probably seen
pipes under a sink, behind
a toilet or even at a school
drinking fountain. These
pipes carry water to and
from sinks, tubs, toilets,
washing machines, water
heaters, dishwashers,
drinking fountains and
more within a building.

How many of these things can you
ﬁnd in your home? Go on a plumbing
search with a parent!
Plumbers earn a special certiﬁcate in order to practice their
trade. A plumber learns the trade and earns a
certiﬁcate by becoming an apprentice
to a master plumber.
PROVIDING SAFE PASSAGE SINCE 1846
The master plumber teaches the apprentice
plumber skills needed for the job. After learning
as an apprentice, plumbers must pass a special
exam to become a journeyman plumber.
A journeyman can work freely as a plumber.

can fit around a nut, bolt, or pipe fitting making it
easier to tighten and loosen them. Wrenches come
in different sizes to fit different nuts and bolts.
