At BIP, students train on real machines to prepare for real careers. In this feature of Inside the BIP Workshops, we look at the Pipe Threading Machine—a key tool in plumbing, construction, and mechanical installations.
🔩 What is a Pipe Threading Machine?
The Pipe Threading Machine is used to create screw threads on the ends of pipes, allowing them to be securely joined together. From water systems to industrial plumbing setups, threading is a critical step in building leak-proof, reliable pipe networks.
At BIP, students learn how to operate this machine across various pipe sizes and materials—building practical skills they’ll use on the job from day one.
🛠️ How It Works: Step-by-Step
Here’s how students are trained to use the machine safely and effectively:
- Install the Pipe: The pipe is firmly placed into the machine’s chuck to hold it in place.
- Select Thread Type & Size: Based on the project, students choose the appropriate threading die and adjust machine settings.
- Start & Adjust: The machine is powered on, and students set the speed and feed based on material and pipe size.
- Thread the Pipe: With guidance, they begin the threading process—ensuring smooth, consistent thread formation.
- Remove & Inspect: Once done, the pipe is removed and inspected for precision and thread quality.
🎓 What Students Gain
Through this process, students develop:
- Hands-on plumbing and piping skills
- Understanding of different pipe materials and sizes
- Confidence in operating threading tools safely
- Experience with machine setup and calibration
These skills directly translate to roles in plumbing, gas fitting, construction, and mechanical systems.
🔧 Where Tools Meet Technique
The pipe threading machine is more than a tool—it’s a gateway to careers that require precision, safety, and problem-solving. At BIP, students leave knowing how to get the job done right.
