Course Overview

Upon successful completion of this course, you will have the skills needed to install and maintain pipelines for medical gases, medical vacuum, medical support gases, and anaesthetic gas scavenging systems. You will be required to perform a Brazing Procedure Specification (BPS) and obtain a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) administered by the authority having Jurisdiction in your province of residence. Once both requirements have been obtained, you will be eligible to apply to the CSA to write their “Medical Gas Piping and Systems Installations Certification” exam as outlined in the CSA Z7396.1 Standard, to become certified. This course will provide you, as a qualified plumber or steamfitter/pipefitter, the 32 hours of required theory. You will have the theoretical knowledge to challenge the certification exam in your province of practice.

Please note that PLMR150 covers the 32 hour theory component ONLY. The hands-on BPS/PQR components will need to be completed to qualify for certification. Both components are available in PLMR149.
