Add a new branch to pressurized water and steam lines without costly downtime. No need to shut off flow and empty the line. With these kits, you can safely cut holes in pipes while they’re still under pressure. Attach them at any angle around the pipe to route a new branch in any direction. They’re lightweight enough for one person to operate by hand.

These kits include a drill bit pilot with wire or retaining magnets to catch cutout pieces of pipe, so they won’t fall into your line. Before cutting into pipe, attach a saddle tap tee and on/off valve (both not included) to seal the section where you intend to cut. Insert the tapping kit through the open valve, cut the hole with your drill, and then close the valve before removing the kit to prevent fluid from spraying out.
