Job Description

Pipe Fitter in an

Interior Fit-Out

context are distinct from those in heavy industrial or construction projects, focusing specifically on the mechanical systems within a commercial or residential space being completed or renovated (e.g., offices, high-end retail, restaurants, apartment buildings).

This role emphasizes precision, coordination with aesthetic finishes, and work on medium-to-low pressure systems, often in HVAC and specialized plumbing.

Pipe Fitter Responsibilities in Interior Fit-Out1. HVAC and Mechanical Systems Installation

Chilled/Hot Water Piping (Hydronic Systems):

Installing and connecting the piping network for HVAC systems, including chilled water supply and return lines, hot water heating lines, and condensate drain piping.

Terminal Unit Connections:

Connecting piping to key terminal units within the fitted-out space, such as

Fan Coil Units (FCUs)

,

Air Handling Units (AHUs)

, and

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF)

systems.

Boiler and Chiller Hookups:

Installing and connecting pipes and fittings to mechanical room equipment (boilers, pumps, expansion tanks, and sub-meters) that serve the fit-out area.

Ductwork and Insulation:

While often separate, coordinating with HVAC technicians and ensuring proper installation of

pipe insulation

to meet energy efficiency and anti-condensation requirements.
2. Specialized Plumbing and Utility Installation

Domestic Water Systems:

Fabricating and installing specialized domestic water supply piping (hot and cold) to kitchens, restrooms, and utility areas, using materials like copper, galvanized, or PEX, based on fit-out specifications.

Drainage Systems (Limited Scope):

Installing floor drains, connecting specialized drainage for commercial kitchen equipment, or installing new drain lines where the fit-out dictates a change in fixture location.

Gas/Fuel Piping:

Installing and testing piping for natural gas or propane that may be required for commercial kitchen equipment (e.g., ovens, cooktops) or specialized mechanical equipment.
3. Precision, Aesthetics, and Coordination

Spatial Planning:

Working in close collaboration with interior designers and general contractors to ensure pipe routing is hidden, fits within tight ceiling plenums, walls, and floor voids, and avoids aesthetic clashes.

Penetration Management:

Carefully managing and sealing all pipe penetrations through fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings to maintain fire separation integrity.

Quality Finishes:

Ensuring all exposed piping (if part of an industrial/exposed design) is fabricated, joined, and finished to a high aesthetic standard.

System Testing:

Conducting

hydrostatic, pneumatic, and pressure tests

on all newly installed piping segments to certify them as leak-free and compliant before walls and ceilings are closed up.
4. Documentation and Safety

Drawing Compliance:

Strictly adhering to

MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) coordination drawings

and red-lining any field modifications for

As-Built

documentation.

Code Adherence:

Ensuring all work complies with specific local

building codes and plumbing standards

relevant to the commercial or residential facility.

Site Safety:

Maintaining a clean and safe work area, which is particularly critical in finished or partially-finished fit-out environments.
