8.    State the purpose and functional requirement of above –ground discharge pipework and sanitation system

Above ground discharge systems (AGDS) are essential to ensure that we are able to keep ourselves and our household environment clean and hygienic. In this unit on AGDS we will look at:

·         Sanitary systems and final disposal units

·         Sanitary pipework and fittings, and the various appliances on the market, and how to install them

·         Rain water drainage – that is guttering and fall pipe systems

9.    Welding

·         Gas and electric welding techniques, equipment and safety procedures, Braze /bronze welding
