Three Pipe Tapping Methods 

You have a water distribution system in place; how do you tap a pipe to add new lines without interrupting service to critical facilities?
Three common pipe tapping methods in the water and wastewater industry allow a pipeline to continue operating while maintenance or modifications are being done. In this video, Jerry Regula and Josh Baker from McWane Ductile discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Direct Taps, Tapping Saddles, and Tapping Sleeves in Ductile iron pipe and alternate materials. They consider key factors when selecting a tapping method, such as the pipeline's age, project specifications, safety requirements, and the tools needed to get the job done.
Then Josh joins the West Wilson Utility District team in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, to demonstrate each tapping method. You'll get a detailed look at the process alongside a professional crew that has performed hundreds of taps in the field.
Special thanks to Jeremy Ash, Jason Ash, Richard Todd, and Wesley White for sharing your skill and experience. And thank you to Freddie Weston, Kelly Cook, and all the people at West Wilson Utility District for your time and effort in completing this project.
