This course in compliance with ÖVGW GW 52 is directed at people seeking training and testing as a plastic gas and/or water pipe installer. The focus is placed on special characteristics and regulations associated with pipe installation.

Objective:
After successful completion of the exam, the course participant receives the plastic pipe installer certificate of the ÖVGW for gas and/or water. Certification according to this guideline authorizes the recipient to install gas and water pipes using their approved joining techniques.

Prerequisite:

• Completion of a professional education as a gas or water pipe installer or
• At least 1 year of practical experience in pipe installation if an apprenticeship has been completed or
• At least 3 years of practical experience in pipe installation if no apprenticeship has been completed

Course contents:
The theoretical portion of the training addresses the general principles that apply in the areas of gas and water, such as materials science, pipeline construction and welding processes and equipment for joining pipes and pipe parts of polyethylene. More detailed consideration is given to the special principles of gas and/or water, based on the respective field.

The practical portion is individually selected by the course participants as necessary. It is possible to choose from the joining types of heating element butt welding (HS), heating element socket welding (HM), heating coil welding (HW) and plug and clamp connections (SK).
It should be noted that at least two of the joining types listed above must be taken for the field of gas. For the field of water, the practical portion for plug and clamping connections is mandatory, and for training in both fields, it is necessary to perform exercises in the area of plug and clamp connections as well as at least one additional area.
