Installing a new
branch line connection to your existing in-service piping without a
shutdown. Tap Master Inc. specialized Hot Tap equipment
allows us to get into tight places where others cannot go. We can do
work others have to turn down. Natural Gas and turn key services are
our specialty. Size on Size Taps, no problem! The following pictures
are pretensioned piping.
Typical 12" Hot Tap on Ameron concrete lined mortar coated
14 gauge
steel cylinder pipe with 5/16" rods. We chipped a
16" circle where
tap is to be made. Then bolted on saddle
and straps, and installed a
floating hub flange.
Pressure tested and then grouted between saddle and pipe.
(*note the
3 grout horns) The void existing between the saddle
flanges and
floating hub was also grouted for stability.
