Gas Technician   

This course covers the required Gas Trade 3 module 5.
This course introduces students to basic electrical theory and concepts. Students consider electrical hazards, safe working techniques, procedures and applicable electrical codes. Practical work includes the selection and explanation of different measurement and test instruments to troubleshoot inconsistencies with electrical circuits.

Students are required to wear CSA approved safety footwear, protective eye wear and have small hand tools for lab work. Students are responsible for purchasing the Gas Trade 3 training module 5.

Students are required to maintain a minimum grade of 75% in both the practical and theory components of the program to meet TSSA requirements. A minimum of 80% attendance is required.

Prerequisites: GENI 2405 & GENI 5031

This course covers the Gas Trade 3 required module 8.

Students gain an understanding of piping and tubing systems installation. They learn to identify and use pipe cutters, reamers, pipe dies, benders, and other tools required to join and install natural gas and propane tubing and piping. Students work with ABS and copper pipe to perform pressure tests. Using the installation code as a reference, students select piping and tubing for use in water service and investigate purge points in a system.
