About the Course:

This Shower and Tub Valve System Installation microcredential trains plumbing technicians to safely install, connect, and test shower and bathtub valve assemblies used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. 

Learners will practice real-world installation techniques including site preparation, valve positioning, water supply connection, mounting and securing valve bodies, pipe alignment, pressure balancing setup, leak inspection, and operational testing. The course emphasizes safety, plumbing code compliance, and installation accuracy to ensure reliable water flow, temperature control, and long-term plumbing system performance. 

Technicians will gain hands-on experience in installing shower and tub valves, minimizing installation errors, and ensuring proper operation, leak-free performance, and customer satisfaction while developing practical skills that support broader plumbing certification training.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify shower and tub valve components, fittings, and their functions within plumbing systems
  • Safely prepare the work area and gather the required tools and materials
  • Measure, cut, and connect water supply lines accurately for valve installation
  • Install and secure shower and tub valve assemblies according to manufacturer specifications
  • Follow manufacturer guidelines and local plumbing code requirements during installation
  • Apply proper sealing and connection techniques to prevent leaks and water damage
  • Align and support piping connections to ensure proper valve operation and system reliability
  • Perform pressure testing and operational checks safely and effectively
  • Verify proper water flow, temperature control, and leak-free performance after installation
  • Maintain safe work practices when handling plumbing tools, piping systems, and valve components

Course delivered via LMS and requires an Oculus VR headset for hands-on VR simulations.
