Pipefitter licensing in Alabama

There is no Alabama card for a general pipefitter — the mechanical side licenses the COMPANY (the HACR board for heating and cooling work; the General Contractors board above the dollar thresholds). ONE specialty is personal and easy to miss: Alabama certifies the MEDICAL GAS PIPE FITTER through the Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board — hospital piping crews need those certifications in hand.

And remember an Alabama 'gas fitter' card is a FUEL-GAS credential from the plumbing world, never proof of pipefitting.

Nothing pending for a general fitter — no personal license exists. Med-gas placements need the certification before the work; plumbing-scoped work follows that board's rules.

Company-level on the mechanical side. Personal exams exist next door: the plumber/gas-fitter journeyman ladder (two years as a registered apprentice or approved training), and the medical gas pipe fitter certification — get its current requirements from the board before a hospital job.

No fitter tier. Plumbing-side registered apprenticeship feeds that board's exams; mechanical-side hands work unlicensed under the certified contractor.

Not exhaustively checked — municipalities run business licenses and permits; no city fitter card is known.

Verify the employer: HACR certification for heating/cooling scope, General Contractors licensure for larger mechanical contracts, the plumbing board's master anchoring for plumbing operations — and on medical-facility work, the crew's med-gas certifications individually.
