Description
These hot tap sleeves are fast and easy to install with simple hand tools, require no caulking or special equipment and may be used with any standard tapping valve. The steel pipe sleeve design directly reinforces without shims or pads and weighs less than heavy cast iron sleeves. The self-energizing gasket will not roll or bind on installation and the seal increases with line pressure. The generous cross section of the metal pipe sleeve assures a good seal even on rough or pitted pipe. These tapping sleeves consist of two sections of heavy welded steel that bolt together on the pipe and seal against a concave wedge gasket around the tap opening. The outlet half has a recessed flat faced flange to mate with standard tapping valves per MSS SP60 up through 12″ size-on-size. The outlet half also has a 3/4″ npt test plug.
