Our tapping sleeves are quick and easy to install with simple hand tools. No special equipment or caulking or welding is required for installation.
The process is as simple as tightening bolts with a wrench. The built-in range of our tapping sleeves also means one sleeve fits several classes of pipe.
Smith-Blair Tapping Sleeves consist of two sections of heavy welded steel that bolt together on the pipe and seal against a concave wedge gasket around the tap opening. The outlet half has a recessed flat-faced flange to mate with standard tapping valves MSS SP 60 up through 12-inch size-on-size. For tap sizes 14-inch and above, flanges can be furnished to accommodate the valve requirements.
