It IS a really ingenious system, almost like a magic trick! However I think that these single-strap connections are VERY vulnerable to any sideways aimed force. And as the whole line is supposed to be covered with dirt again after completion, and it is very likely there will be riding cars and trucks over that line, it is quite likely such forces will come into play. By the way, that's why such lines must be laid quite deep when they run underneath roads.
Good job 👏.. I tap my mains in 30 seconds average.. 25s every now and then.. tapping tool looks a lot different but same mechanics didn’t test the chlorine 🤷🏽♂️
Awesome man! That line had pressure on it right, or did you get permission to cut the supply for a little bit? Also what do y’all do when you tie into ductal?
I always understood the definition of "hot tap" being that the line is under pressure when it's tapped. Also the video description says the main is "live", meaning it is currently pressurized while being tapped.
