Plidco® Hot Tap Saddles are designed to ASME code section VII and API 6H. CRN Numbers available.
For branch connections, the fitting is easily installed in weld-hazardous areas by simply tightening the side bolts. Patented steel Girder Rings hold seals in place to protect from damage and displacement during installation.
For plugging operations, the Hot Tap Saddle is designed to include clamping areas to restrict movement of the fitting when setting the plug. Installation is quick; bolt it on, assemble tapping equipment, perform a hydrotest and proceed with the plugging operation. This product can be reclaimed, reconditioned and used again if it hasn’t been welded to the pipeline.
