Pipefitters union wages by local

Journeyman base scale for pipefitters runs $29.50/hr to $91.00/hr an hour across the 185 UA locals whose own wage sheet we hold, with a median of $47.75/hr — about $95,500 a year at 2,000 hours, before the benefit package. Every figure below is read off that hall's published sheet and carries its effective date. All 239 UA locals in our directory are listed below; the 54 without a sheet on file yet are named with their hall so you can call for the current scale rather than read an estimate.

Pipefitters, steamfitters and HVAC service fitters share the UA journeyman scale in each local's jurisdiction, so what you earn moves with the state and the hall you work out of. This page starts with the published scale state by state, then the highest-paying halls nationally.

Quick answers: pipefitters union pay

What do union pipefitters get paid?

Union pipefitters on a UA journeyman agreement earn a published base of $29.50/hr to $91.00/hr an hour, with a median of $47.75/hr — about $95,500 a year at 2,000 hours before overtime.

Rates are set locally, so the hall in your city sets the exact scale.

How do I find local pipefitters union rates?

Search by city, state or local number, then open the local pay scale page to check the published base rate, benefits, effective date and rate-sheet PDF. The city and state links group nearby UA halls. Check the rate sources page for citations: older sheets are historical, not a promise of today’s pay. If no sheet is on file, contact the hall; sign up for rate-update emails to follow new sheets.

Each row is taken from that local's own published wage sheet or an official prevailing wage determination, with the source and effective date shown on the local's page. The 54 halls with no sheet on file are still listed, but with no rate — we never estimate a wage. Our sheet set was last cross-checked 2026-09-23.

Why do some UA locals show no wage figure?

54 of the 239 UA locals in our directory do not publish a wage sheet we can cite. They are listed here with their hall so you can call for the current journeyman scale; we would rather show nothing than publish a number the local never printed.
