Concise ‘How To’ and Tutorial Subjects Available
The Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI) today announced that another free library of instructional videos is available on the association’s website and YouTube channel.
Called ‘Training Shorts’, the teaching modules focus on piping materials such as CPVC, HDPE, PEX, PE-RT, PP. Topics include joining, installation, fusion, trenching, design, testing, sustainability plus other subjects important to those involved in drainage, natural gas, heating, plumbing, water, and sewer systems plus conduit projects. Not only an educational tool, the information contained in the videos can also be used for bid documents, according the association. PPI is the major North American trade association representing the plastic pipe industry.
“The PPI Training Shorts series of videos deliver quick and clear instruction,“ stated David M. Fink, president of PPI. “Currently, we have nearly 30 video courses, with most running under three minutes. We’ve been able to create videos that get right to the heart of the matter because of our members who have contributed their time and knowledge. They hear first-hand what is important and what is not as well as where to find additional information on these subjects.”
Episodes include Life Cycle Analysis Results & Benefits, Fitting for PEX and PE-RT Tubing, Basics of Butt Fusion, How HDPE Conduit Materials are Specified, and Composite Pipe Introduction. Other subjects will be added periodically.
Training Shorts couples with the association’s eLearn™ educational channel that contains a catalog of plastic pipe programs, which are self-paced and built on a module platform. A certificate of completion is awarded at the end of each course. It can be found at https://elearn.plasticpipe.org/
