Why Choose Pipeontec for Hot Tap Fittings?
The process of hot tapping also referred to as pressure tapping enables safe, efficient modifications to a live pipeline, allowing new branches or tie-ins without disrupting product flow. At Pipeontec, we provide everything you need to carry out hot tap operations seamlessly and safely.
Whether you’re working on high-pressure gas lines or municipal water systems, our hot tap fittings are engineered for reliability and precision. Our team ensures you receive fittings that not only meet, but exceed project safety and performance requirements.
What Does a Typical Hot Tapping Setup Include?
To perform a successful hot tap, you need a coordinated system of components. Here’s what Pipeontec provides:
- Drilling Machine
A precision-controlled cutting tool typically driven by a telescoping boring bar makes a clean incision in the pressurized pipeline. It first creates a pilot hole, followed by a hole saw that removes the pipe wall section, also known as the “coupon.” - Hot Tap Fittings
For smaller taps (such as 1” lines), the fittings serve as branch connectors. For larger operations, full-encirclement split tees provide added reinforcement and structural integrity for the parent pipeline and new branch. - Valves
Depending on your project, we can supply block or control valves designed to allow coupon retrieval post-cut. Suitable options include ball valves and gate valves , but not plug or butterfly valves due to operational limitations during coupon removal.
Complete Solutions – From Supply to Execution
Pipeontec doesn’t just offer fittings we offer peace of mind. From the engineering of hot tap tees to supplying valves and drilling equipment, we support the entire lifecycle of your hot tapping operation. Whether it’s a straightforward tie-in or a complex live-line intervention, we help you carry out the work with minimal downtime and maximum safety.
