UPC Ch 1

[@calebcase80]

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this video. I have a learning disability, and I am working on my journeyman test. I wish I could see every chapter like this. Thank you so much for your work.

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I did every chapter like this. Subscribe to the channel and each one is there. Where are you located? If you have the patience for these videos, you definitely have the patience to take and pass the exam.

Thank you so much for these videos!! I was an electrician by trade for over 20 years, and I just recently took a position as a electrical inspector for a local municipality, and I am in cross training to become a full building inspector and plans examiner. Our jurisdiction has adopted the UPC and I cannot tell you how much your videos are helping me, not just to understand the code, but to become a better inspector. This is a gold mine.

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Thank You so much for the kind words!

Yours is now my favorite plumbing channel on KZbin. I’ve been having so much trouble with code as a first year, and it seems like it comes naturally to all the apprentices around me. I really appreciate you explaining this step by step because my first year teacher doesn’t do anything like that.

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I'm glad you appreciate these! Where are you going through your apprenticeship?

[@shalchang2438]

Found most helpful plumbing code explanation. NYC plumbing helper try to read NYC plumbing code. It’s a good understanding to beginning. 👍 thank you

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Glad it helped!

[@courtneylaws3115]

Thank you for your time making these, testing soon and find your methods helpful for sure

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Where are you prepping for your exam? Which Code does you area use?

[@GumbyPlumby]

also we are moving to computer tests ran by P.S.I exam company

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

@@GumbyPlumby Hopefully you are allowed to utilize your code book during the exam. When is the exam?

[@stevebrown7462]

Code books are NOT allowed in WA state for the exam. We do get some tables but that’s about it.

[@chinlee6974]

This channel is a goldmine . Thank you sir

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I'm glad you like it! I will be doing more soon. Anything you'd like to see?

[@skylarfaucett4088]

thanks so much for these videos! i' m getting ready for my journeyman test and this helps a ton. i appreciate the the time you took to do this.

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Where are you taking your exam?

[@nicholaswallace2713]

Thankyou for making these videos. I'm going into the last year of my apprenticeship and your videos do help me understand the code more.

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I am truly happy to help! What part of the states are you in?

[@nicholaswallace2713]

@@BGsPlumbingClass I'm in Montana. Its UPC here

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

@@nicholaswallace2713 Great! How's the program up there? I've been thinking about relocating.

[@nicholaswallace2713]

@@BGsPlumbingClass The program has been pretty good to me. The company I work for is probably the best job I've ever had. Where are you wanting to relocate at?

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

@@nicholaswallace2713 Honestly? We were looking into Wyoming but I think moving to a State that has fewer people in it than the city I live in would be a bit of a shock. But it is increasingly difficult to live in such an expensive environment.

[@GumbyPlumby]

I've been looking for something like this!!

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Happy you like it! Keep in mind, these videos are primarily for my class as lectures during Covid, and they weren't intended to be as riveting and entertaining as some of the other videos out there. I am truly happy that others outside my classes are getting something out of these.

[@andrewfrazier4813]

I wish u would do a revise for "21" code I would pay for it u are an awsume instructor or jt wait and do 24 lol

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I hear you! I'm working on doing update videos on varying Code sections, instead of entire chapters. Also, I'll be doing comparison videos between the UPC and the IPC.

[@funtimes9501]

Appreciate you going over the code books. But you might want to add a couple more ads. That is on a serious note. Your putting in the work. You should be making more then you are on this video

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I appreciate your idea, but for me it's not about the money. Just want to help.

[@GumbyPlumby]

Is there any way you can put this out on Google Podcast??

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Honestly, I'm lucky to have figured out KZbin! LOL!!! I will look into Google Podcast.

[@shariefnewsome6789]

I'm in central Florida. Are these codes the same?

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Florida goes by the International Plumbing Code. Though they are very similar, there are some contrasts.

[@shariefnewsome6789]

@@BGsPlumbingClass thank you!

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

@@shariefnewsome6789 I really want to do a few videos on the differences between the two codes. I just need to get my hands on the International Plumbing Code to do it.

[@edwardmontalvo3751]

Do you know what code nyc adheres to?

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Most of the Eastern States adhere to the International Plumbing Code. NY is one of those. There are more similarities than there are differences. As far as I've seen over the years, if you adhere to the UPC, you will not be violating the IPC but some of the allowances in the IPC are not allowed by UPC standards (the UPC seems to be a bit more strict).

[@MrBIGG360]

Do you do any live or zoom courses?

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

The Zoom courses I do are for the course I teach in my district. All this stuff here culminated out of a necessity for my class to continue during covid online. I have been teaching plumbing for over 20 years. I'll figure out a live way for you all eventually- hopefully soon.

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

The Zooms that I do are for the classes I teach here in San Diego. What area are you in?

[@othnielcarbajal2235]

Chapter 2

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I've done a video for each chapter on my channel. Check it out.

[@jessejames1401]

would be a lot simpler to follow if you read thrm in order and people would have a lot better understanding an not be so confused orget so thrown off in process of watching this video.

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

Glad you're watching! Code is not the easiest thing to understand. Each of these videos were originally done due to the restrictions of in class lectures due to the pandemic. When it had started, I'd already completed Chapter 1 in class. That is the reason this one lecture came in after the others. Once I have time, I could order these as a series- I'm sure there's a way. I hope that is what you meant by your comment. If not, then I will say that I do have a tendency to jump around a bit on occasion. That is how I've taught for over 22 years now. It is always to prove a point or to expand on the topic at hand. I always go back though.

[@capoconstruction1961]

Thanks for your help sir on codes. Perfect

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I appreciate you

Drop more videos

[@BGsPlumbingClass]

I know. I need to. I will. I promise. Been a bit busy, moved to a State that uses- the horror - the IPC. BLECH
