UA Local 469
UA Local 469 Plumbers and Pipefitters was chartered in 1910, two years before the State of Arizona became the 48th state. For more than 95 years, UA Local 469 has protected the health of our nation through our plumbing, pipefitting, and HVAC service work. UA Local 469 members work in the heavy industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. UA Local 469 members also specialize in HVAC service throughout Arizona where cooling systems are vital to the economy. The Local takes pride in partnering with our signatory contractors to deliver sophisticated piping systems to the end user, which are vital to the infrastructure of our community. We do it right the first time, so when medical providers in Arizona build new or expand existing facilities, they call on the skilled members of Local 469. The complicated medical gas installations are a dynamic piece of life saving equipment, along with equally important commodities such as steam systems, potable water systems, and comfort piping systems. These systems are necessary to support the facilities that ensure public safety and saves lives.
