Which state license matches steamfitting

The Department of Consumer Protection licenses steam and hot water piping under its heating, piping and cooling license types. The S-1 unlimited contractor license covers all work in the trade, including sheet metal. The S-3 limited contractor license covers heating systems and boilers, including steam generation and piping, along with hot, chilled and condenser water piping. The S-7 and S-9 licenses also include steam and hot water piping, but they are limited to buildings up to three stories, a 500,000 BTU heating load and steam at 15 psi or less. The matching journeyperson licenses only work while employed by a licensed contractor.
