What is Hot Tapping?
Hot tapping is also known as wet tapping. It is a way to tap into a water line while it is
under pressure and add a line, drain the system or add a Thermowell or sensor. You
place a hot tap service saddle or sleeve onto the line. You add a valve and test the
connection under pressure with a hydrostatic pump. Then you place the hot tap
machine onto the value through a water tight packing gland, open the valve and lower
the cutter and retention pilot down until it touches the pipe. You then drill into the
pipe manually or with an electric or air driven unit that cuts a hole in the pipe.

What is Line Stopping?
When you can’t stop the flow in a line and need to do a repair without draining
the system or causing a long shut down, a line stop works well. Line stopping is
similar to hot tapping in that you will be tapping into a live line under pressure.
You will then remove the hot tap machine and place a line stop machine onto
the valve. A line stop machine has rubber bladders that act like line plugs that
will expand after being lowered down into the pipe. Once the flow is stopped,
the repair can be performed.

How do I fix a leak on a copper solder joint without shutting down the
line?
There were not a lot of inexpensive options for fixing a leaking solder joint
without shutting down the system until the Insta-Clamp was born. The Insta-
Clamp can fix a 1/2" to 4.00" copper solder joint leak in just a few minutes with
its unique step-up NBR Waffle gasket. It allows you to do a permanent or
temporary repair in minutes without draining or shutting down the system or
using a lot of time and materials.

Question: With so many products to choose from, how do I know which tapping
sleeve I need?
Answer: Knowing which tapping sleeve to use can be difficult. If you don’t know
which product to buy, please call us Toll Free at 1-877-PIPEMAN (747-3626) and let us
help you. To correctly assess which product will meet your needs we need to know
several things:
1. Type of Pipe: (carbon steel, PVC, copper, Ductile Iron, C900 ACP and others).
2. Correct Pipe O.D.: (some saddles have range and some are exact fit).
3. Contents in the Line: (Saddles do offer several types of gaskets for different
applications).
4. Temperature and Maximum PSI: (water sewer and air/gas lines have different
ratings).

Question: We are interested in your powerseal hot tap sleeve to tap into an
existing copper tower water line without draining the system, and minimal shut
down time. I would like more information on how the tap is actually made after the
sleeve is installed.
Answer: The PS 3425 SS Hot Tap Sleeve is the premier tapping saddle for copper
pipe. They are available in 3/4"x3/4" to 8"x3" and size-on-size i.e. 2"x2" 4"x4" etc.
To use this or any other hot tap saddle or sleeve you need a Hot Tap machine.
There are portable units that can do a 3/4"-2.00" tap or our professional models
that can go to 6" taps. They range from $649.00 and up for the portable units and
$3,995.00 and up for the professional model. Instructions: You place the
saddle/sleeve on the line and add a valve (ball valve, gate valve. Corp stop). Then
you test the saddle for fit and pressure retention with a hydrostatic test pump
which goes through the valve.
