Hot Tapping is the method of making a branch connection to existing pipelines or vessels or any process equipment while the existing system is under pressure. PTS can Hot Tap from ½” to 96” sizes; up to 1480 psi pressure and up to 700 deg. F temperatures, flange ratings are from 150 Lbs. through 900 Lbs. ANSI ratings.

PTS services are able to drill through all major tank walls with reinforcement bars in place and under pressure allows for a new line to branch from the digester/reservoir with a valve in place for flow control.

We can drill through a concrete wall from 200 mm to 1500 mm, with option to manufacture cutting any required nominal bore sizes; PTS can undertake such projects on Turnkey basis from site survey, design, manufacture and installation.

This method employs a Tapping Machine and a full bore valve and either a nozzle or a full encirclement Fitting (Split Tee) welded to the existing pressurized system.
