EXPERTISE THAT DELIVERS

HOT TAPPINGSERVICE WITH A DIFFERENCEHot Tapping, also called Wet Tapping or

TS&V, allows our customers to make

connections for lateral mains, meter and

fire line service, offsets and bypasses,

hydrants or other branch applications,

with no interruption of service, no water

loss, and no risk of water main contamina-

tion. Relative to performing a “wet connect”

Hot Tapping dramatically reduces service

crew time and the need to schedule

off peak hours, saving customers time

and money.

■ Guarantees no service disruption or water loss

■ Eliminates risk of water main contamination

■ Reduces crew service time and off-peak hours scheduling

■ Works successfully with any live, pressurized pipe
