Plumbers, pipe-fitters, pipe-layers, and steam-fitters install, maintain, alter, repair, and test many different types of pipe systems.  For example, some systems move water to a municipal water treatment plant and then to residential, commercial, and public buildings.  Other systems dispose of waste, provide gas to stoves and furnaces, or provide for heating and cooling needs.  Pipe systems in power-plants carry steam that powers huge turbines.  Pipes also are used in manufacturing plants to move material through the production process.
