Gas and Hot Tap Safety
Explosive atmosphere. Gas can ignite, causing
explosion, death or serious injury. During the
process some of the fluid in the main must be
bled and could ignite. Direct bleed off out of the
work area and avoid static electricity and other
ignition sources.
Follow all applicable federal, state, local and industry specific
regulations and procedures. No person should make a hot tap

Overview
Fusion Machines To Use
Select an appropriate sized saddle fusion machine or electrofusion
saddle to fuse a branch saddle onto a main.
Select an appropriate sized butt fusion machine or electrofusion
coupling to fuse two pipes together.
IMPORTANT: A butt fusion machine is required to fuse to the hot
tap tool.
TX01131-10-02-17
CD326-9-27-96
Fusion Procedures
Use standard facing and fusion procedures from the fusion
machine Operator's Manual, adhering to the pipe manufacturer's
specifications.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the pressure relief valve on the tapping
tool and the ball valve are positioned so that they will be
accessible after fusing tool make-up.

Test Port Saddles
3 - 1
Using Hot Tap Tool with a Saddle with Test Port
Some saddles may have a test port used to pressure test
the fusion of the saddle to the main pipe.
When testing is complete, the saddle must be prepared
before fusing the Hot Tap Tool to the saddle by removing
the test port. If the test port is not removed, the hot tap
cutter could drop the cut coupon into the main pipe.
Use a compact pipe cutter and insert the cutter around the test
port with the cutter flush against the saddle.
Rotate the cutter until the test port has been cut
completely around the port.
Remove the cut piece of the port.
Remove any debris from inside the outlet of the saddle.
The saddle is now prepared for tool make-up calculations
and fusion of the Hot Tap Tool to the saddle.

Tool Make-Up
Tool Make-up Measurements
The overall tool length is measured from the cap on the
fitting gland, to the center of the concave side of the
branch saddle which butts against the main pipe.
NOTICE: Allowance for face off and bead rollback during
fusion must be added to the measurement.
NOTICE: Make-up lengths in the table below are calculated
using the cutter that comes with the tool so that the cutter
does not cut through the opposite side of the pipe. If using a different length cutter, adjust the make-up length
accordingly.
The make-up length is different for each size tapping tool and is calculated using the cutter that comes with the tool.
Example: Using a 2" Hot Tap Tool, user wants to use a 3-5/8" length cutter instead of the 2-5/8" length cutter that
comes with the tool.
Recalculated make up length: 36-1/2" – 2-5/8" = 33-7/8 + 3-5/8" = 37-1/2"
NOTICE: If hot tapping a main of same size as the branch, ensure
the cutter diameter is less than the inside diameter of the main
pipe.

Measure the total length of branch saddle, ball valve, and hot tap tool. Subtract the length from the make up
length in the table below. The result is the nipple length needed to reach the total make up length. Add length
to the nipple to account for facing and bead rollback during butt fusion.
Fuse branch saddle to the main using the appropriate fusion machine.
IMPORTANT: Saddle and butt fusions or electrofusion saddles and couplings can be used to fuse components.
Fuse the ball valve to the branch saddle using the appropriate fusion machine.
Fuse the nipple to the ball valve using the appropriate fusion machine.
Cut excess from nipple so the overall length of the assembly matches the table below. Be sure to leave some
material for face off and bead rollback.
Fuse the hot tap tool to the nipple using appropriate butt fusion machine so that the tool can be cut off.

Hot Tap Operation
Clamp Tool in Fusion Machine
Install proper size jaw inserts, as required. Clamp the bearing
housing on the tool in the movable jaw and the gland end cap in
the fixed jaw.
IMPORTANT: If bearing housing is wider than the movable jaw,
clamp with jaw moved toward drive end of the hot tap tool to ensure
the machine will have enough stroke to bottom the bearing
housing against the gland end cap.
TX01150-10-02-17
Pressure Test Tool Make-up
Attach hose to the pressure relief valve on the tapping tool. Open
valve and pressure test the tool make-up as required by applicable
regulations.
Relieve all pressure after test is complete and close pressure relief valve.
Remove air hose.
Maximum working pressure: Same pressure rating as pipe being
tapped.
TX01149-10-02-17
Begin Tapping
Attach the ratchet wrench to the hex at the end of the cutter drive
shaft.
Using a manual fusion machine, apply moderate pressure on the
movable handle and rotate the cutter drive shaft in a clockwise
direction to begin tap.
Using hydraulic fusion machine, shift the selector valve to the
facing mode and reduce the pressure to the lowest setting. Ratchet
the cutter shaft clockwise while activating the carriage control
valve to move in. It may be necessary to shift in and out of neutral
when too much resistance is encountered.
IMPORTANT: When using offset inserts, such as 809202,
place the flat side facing the movable jaw to ensure maximum
penetration of the cutter into the main.
Keep tapping until the bearing housing bottoms out against the
gland end cap of the tool or until the end of the carriage travel.

Hot Tap Operation
Close Valve or Squeeze Off Nipple
If the tool was made up with a ball valve in line, close the ball
valve.
If there is no valve, use squeeze off tool to shut off all line flow.
IMPORTANT: Metric Hot Tap Tool lengths were designed for the
use of ball valves. Consult local regulations about using squeeze
off tools.
TX01153-10-02-17
Retract Cutter
Pull the cutter away from the main and as far into the tool as possible.
Stand clear of cutter shaft and loosen the movable jaw enough to allow
the bearing housing to come out of the jaw.
The cutter shaft can move back with force when
unclamped from jaw. Stand clear of shaft travel to
avoid the possibility of injury.
Make sure cutter is as far into the tool as possible.
TX01152-11-18-96
Bleed Off All Pressure
Use standard static charge precautions.
Open pressure relief valve and bleed off all pressure. A hose can
be attached to direct pressure away from personnel.
Explosive atmosphere. Gas can ignite, causing
explosion, death or serious injury. During the
process some of the fluid in the main must be
bled and could ignite. Direct bleed off out of the
work area and avoid static electricity and other
ignition sources.
Remove fusion machine from fitting gland.
