Senior and Junior Plumbing Students Work on Habitat Home in Willimantic

Senior and Junior Plumbing students are working together with students in the Electrical department of Windham Tech to build a Habitat for Humanity home in Willimantic. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that builds new homes for low-income families. Under the direction of Plumbing and Heating Department Head Bill Morin, the students are putting in waste, venting, and drainage into the new construction. They are using 5/8 inch hepex tubing which is a state-of-the-art material that replaces copper pipes because it cheaper, more pliable, and just as durable. They also will be putting in a gas-fired wall hung boiler. Below are some photos of the Juniors working on the assignment.
