What steamfitters make
Median
$91,000
Lower end
$56,000
Upper end
$116,000
Job Bank's figures for steamfitters, pipefitters and sprinkler system installers: $27 an hour at the low end, $43.89 at the median and $55.59 at the high end. The yearly figures assume 40 hours a week, so heavy overtime on a big shutdown or nuclear refurbishment can push a year's pay higher.
