We have announced another new webinar in August, “Valves 101: The Ins and Outs of Valve Options in Commercial Plumbing” on August 13 at 1 pm CDT.
This one-hour webinar will present the basics on valve styles, sizes, materials, and applications. Speaker Lauren Berenato will discuss the standards and designs that have changed in our industry while informing participants as to advancements that have been made from manufacturers. The goal of the presentation is to enlighten attendees about what valve to use in certain applications as well as discuss the ways we design today that differ from what is listed in design handbooks. This webinar is a great resource for newer engineers and designers entering the industry as well as a refresher class for more experienced designers.
Upon successful completion of the course you will be able to:
- Understand the five main factors to consider for valve selection.
