HVAC1000 — Sheet Metal and Metal Brazing Practices
HVAC 1000 - Sheet Metal and Metal Brazing Practices HVAC 1000 - Sheet Metal and Metal Brazing Practices Hours/Week: Lecture 2 Lab 2 Course Description: This course introduces sheet metal use in HVAC-R industry. Air distribution and balance are primary topics as well as the fabrication of the sheet metal ductwork system. Fabrication of sheet metal ductwork and fittings will be performed in lab. This course also includes metal brazing practices, instruction regarding the HVAC-R copper piping systems, and manipulative hands-on training to develop the skills required to soft solder copper pipe, silver solder and silver braze copper tubing. These skills are necessary to join the copper fittings and pipe used in the HVAC-R industry. Students must be able to perform physical tasks to complete course requirements.
