The Trade
Mechanical piping is the licensed counterpart to industrial pipefitting — Oklahoma requires mechanical contractor licensure for scopes involving HVAC piping, chilled water, steam, and hydronic systems on commercial buildings. We staff journeyman mechanical pipers with current Oklahoma mechanical licensure, brazing certification for refrigerant work, and documented experience on commercial HVAC and process piping scopes.
Typical Roles
HVAC piping, chilled water, hot water, and hydronic systems on commercial construction and retrofits.
Steam piping, high-pressure systems, and industrial process piping on manufacturing and campus-scale projects.
Copper refrigerant piping with EPA 608 brazing certification. Commercial HVAC and process-cooling applications.
System-level layout, crew coordination, and sign-off on commercial HVAC and hydronic scopes.
Under journeyman supervision — pipe staging, fitting prep, and support on mechanical rough-in.

In Oklahoma, licensure determines the split. Mechanical piping scopes (HVAC piping, hydronic, steam) on commercial buildings require state mechanical licensure. Industrial process piping on refineries and manufacturing typically doesn't. We staff both — tell us the project type and scope on the request and we'll filter accordingly.
Medical gas installation is a licensed plumber scope (ASSE 6010), not mechanical piping. Mechanical pipers on healthcare jobs typically handle chilled water, heating, and hydronic systems in coordination with plumbers doing the med-gas install. Both scopes available through us for healthcare work.
Yes. Brazing certification under EPA 608 is a specialty filter on our mechanical-piping roster. Commercial HVAC rooftop installations, VRF, and process-cooling applications need it — ask specifically when the scope involves refrigerant.
The Standard
Licensed where the law requires it. OSHA-screened on every shift. W-2 employed — no misclassification risk. Staffed across the OK / TX corridor.
