Overview:

Natural resources are finite . . . that goes without saying but what if there were non-metallic alternatives to be used within our infrastructure? And what if these options were cost effective and user friendly? Let’s dip our toes into the possibilities of “plastic” products that could be offered as an alternative to our costly conventional current choices.

 

At the completion of this one-hour OJT session, participants will be able to demonstrate the following:

• • • • • • • • • • • • Acknowledging the difference in materials currently available to consumers in the service tubing space.

                      • What is a shark bite connection?
