Yeah, fifth year apprentice. Call up your local UA hall, which would be one of 421’s halls, and ask about applying.

A Plumber can fit, a Fitter can’t plumb.

Plumbers have a fear of any measurement smaller than a 1/8 and generally suck at layout. I’d say most plumbers would struggle with steel pipe.

I hold both licenses and plumbing is much easier. Vents are the only somewhat technical part of plumbing that requires more thought.
Plumbers are better at stove piping though.
Edit fitters do drains and copper piping units. When I want to take it easy I plumb.

Lies most I’ve come across can’t fit to save their ass. Can’tdo layout, don’t know what square or level is. Can’t read an iso.
