Plumbers and Pipefitters are both highly trained professionals able to work in residential, commercial, and industrial locations.
The Difference Between a Plumber and a Pipefitter
Plumbers install and repair water, drainage, gas, and other piping systems in homes, businesses, and factories. Plumbers install plumbing fixtures such as bathtubs or toilets and appliances such as dishwashers and water heaters. Plumbers also maintain septic systems.
Pipefitters, sometimes called fitters, install and maintain pipes that carry chemicals, acids, and gases. The pipes are used mostly in manufacturing, commercial, and industrial settings. Fitters install and repair pipe systems in power plants as well as heating and cooling systems in large office buildings. Some pipe-fitters go on to specialize as gas-fitters, sprinkler fitters, or steamfitters.
