• Extended Reach Hot Tapping System

  An innovation to hot tapping, and exclusive to Bolttech Mannings, our Extended Reach Hot Tapping System™ developed in 1999, involves locating the hot tap valve above ground. This is used on branch connections when access is required to the hot tap valve.

  

  

  

  

  
  Benefits
  

  • Keeps hot tap valves above ground
  • Highly effective on sour service applications where immediate response to leak detection is essential
  • Environmentally safe solution – no buried flange connection required

  Technical

  • Accessible up to 25 ft of vertical reach from the main line and branch lines of up to 16 in in diameter
  • Up to 5,000 psi (35,000 kPa) of operating pressure
  • Appropriate for temperatures up to 700°F

• No Weld Hot Tap (Fastening Tee)

  A bolt-on hot tap tool for high-pressure piping systems. The Fastening Tee was specially designed to tap into high-pressured piping systems without the need for welding.
