Rørfag

Rørfag is a Danish term that translates to "pipe profession" or "piping trade." It encompasses the skilled work of installing, maintaining, and repairing pipe systems. These systems are essential for the transport of various fluids and gases, playing a crucial role in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The professionals in this field are often referred to as plumbers or pipefitters, depending on the specific nature of their work and the context within the construction or industrial sectors.

The responsibilities of a rørfag worker include reading blueprints, selecting appropriate materials, cutting, threading, and joining pipes, and ensuring systems are leak-proof and meet safety standards. They work with a wide range of materials, including copper, steel, plastic, and cast iron, and utilize various tools and techniques to complete their tasks. Their expertise is vital for the functionality of water supply, drainage, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as industrial process piping. Proper installation and maintenance by skilled rørfag professionals prevent water damage, ensure hygiene, and contribute to energy efficiency. The trade requires a combination of technical knowledge, practical skills, and an understanding of building codes and regulations.
