In this course students will spend time both in theory lectures using academic course materials and in lab settings applying skills learned in theory. This course will introduce the student to common skills, tools, and competencies required for the installation of various piping materials, air distribution components, and water distribution piping used in HVAC/R. It will cover the theory and application of required skills for refrigeration lines, gas lines, venting, condensate, hydronics, and duct work. It will also cover common HVAC/R tools, safety, and best practice procedures. REFG 111 will provide actual fabrication tools and equipment where the student will be able to practice fabricating projects until they are acceptable trade quality projects. Sheet metal layout, piping leak testing, threading, priming, gluing, silver soldering, and silver brazing are examples of activities in the lab. This class may require participation in several field trips for further understanding of the profession.
