Tapping Tool Safety
•Only trained personnel should use this tapping
tool. Incorrect use of this tool can result in serious per-
sonal injury, environmental damage, and/or property
damage.
•Always wear eye protection. Cutters and drills are
hard and can shatter.
•Do not exceed recommended pressure ratings.
Attempting to tap into main with pressures beyond the
maximum limits of this tool or a fitting may result in
their failure.
•Only tap into pressurized mains that carry water,
air, steam or natural gas. Other media may attack
the seals of this tool.
•When using power tools to drive this tapping
tool, understand and follow all the safety in-
structions associated with that power tool. Air
power ratchets are generally a safer choice due to
the inherent explosion and shock hazards asso-
ciated with electrical tools.
• Electrical tools should not be used for natural
gas taps. Only use air or manual ratchets.
Electrical tools cause sparks which may ignite the
gas.
• Grounded electrical tools should be plugged
into a properly grounded outlet. If tool should
electrically malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a low resistance path to send electricity
away from the user.
• Electrical tools should be plugged into an out-
let protected with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Reduces risk of electrical
shock.

RT1000 Tapping Tool
•Use only right angle electrical drills or air ratchets
to rotate the cutter. Tool must be fed at a con-
trolled rate. Failure to use a right angle drive or to
carefully control the tool feed rate may result in the
cutter suddenly stopping which will cause the power
tool driver to suddenly twist.
•Main being tapped must be securely mounted to
prevent any movement. Movement could cause
tool breakage during the tapping operation.
•Follow all applicable regulations and safety pre-
cautions regarding the work area.
• When working below grade, have an adequate
escape route before starting the tap. Such pre-
cautions reduce the risk of injury.
•When working on a scaffold or lift, the operator,
tool, and drive assembly should all be properly
secured. Will prevent injury in the event of a fall or
dropping a tool.
•Do not use this tool to support the operator.
Could result in tool breakage or malfunction.
•Tool is made to tap into pressurized lines. Follow
instructions in operator’s manual on tool uses.

Description, Specifications and
Standard Equipment
Description
The Model RT1000 Tapping Tool is designed to tap
pressurized pipe systems using a saddle-mounted valve
or welded nipple on steel, plastic, ductile iron and cast
iron pipe. The RT1000 is capable of tapping water lines
up to 200 psi and steam, natural gas and air up to 100
psi. Because of its weight, the RT1000 can be effectively
used for branching 3/4″–1″lines. The cutter/drill is ro-
tated by an 11/16″hand ratchet or can be operated by
an air ratchet or right angle drill. A self cleaning acme
threaded barrel feeds the cutter into the pipe and resists
the force of the pressurized pipe when the cut is through.

Operating Instructions
Planning The Tapping Operation
Cutting into pipe containing liquids
or gases under pressure is potentially hazardous.
Correct procedures must be followed in the use of
this equipment. Only trained personnel should use
this tapping tool.
To prevent extensive property damage and/or se-
rious injury, proper planning of the tapping
operation is required. The following procedure
should be followed every time the tapping tool is
used.
1. DETERMINE EXACTLY WHICH PIPE NEEDS TO
BE TAPPED INTO. Follow the pipe as far as possible
to ensure it is the pipe that requires tapping. Record
the media and the pressure on a copy of the work-
sheet, Appendix II, at the back of this manual.
Do not exceed pressure and tem-
perature ratings of the tool and any attachment, valve
or fitting. Only tap into lines that contain water, air,
steam or natural gas.
Water: 200 psig @ 100ºF (40ºC)
Air, Steam, Natural Gas: 100 psig @ 370ºF (172ºC)
WARNING
WARNING
2. DETERMINE EXACTLY WHERE THE PIPE NEEDS
TO BE TAPPED. Consider not only the best route for
the new line but also the effect that any chips from the
tapping operation could have on downstream equip-
ment. Consider the orientation of the tap, tapping
the top of the pipe may drop chips into the tapped
pipe whereas tapping the bottom of the pipe will tend
to drop the chips back into the tool.
3. DETERMINE WHETHER A SERVICE SADDLE OR
A WELD-IN-PLACE THREAD-O-LET™OR WELD-
O-LET™WILL BE USED TO MOUNT THE VALVE
TO THE MAIN. Consider the advantages and disad-
vantages of each type. Record this connection data
on the worksheet.
NOTE! The “Thread-O-Let™” or “Weld-O-Let™” may
only be welded to compatible metal pipe.
Although Thread-O-Lets may have a pressure
rating, the strength of the weld to the pipe is vir-
tually impossible to certify without x-rays. The
media in the pipe may also adversely affect
weld penetration due to chilling. In addition,
weld may penetrate far enough into the pipe
to allow the pressure in the pipe to blow through
the molten weld puddle.
A service saddle may be used on any type of
pipe that has a compatible outside diameter.
Insure the saddle pressure rating is equal to
or greater than the pipe system.
4. SELECT WHICH “CORPORATION STOP”OR
VALVE IS TO BE USED. Only a full port ball, plug or
safety valve will work. The valve must meet following
criteria:
•Must have an adequate pressure rating.
•Made of material compatible with the media.
•Must allow the cutter to pass through the valve.
This should be checked prior to mounting the valve.
NOTE! A corporation stop is a valve with a square lug
for a wrench instead of a handwheel to open
and close the valve. This is to ensure that the
valve is not operated inadvertently or by unau-
thorized personnel. Typically, corporation stops
have male NPT inlet threads that screw directly
into a service saddle or “Thread-O-Let”with-
out the need for an intermediate "close nipple"
as an adapter.
Assembling the Tool

7. Inspect the selected pilot drill to ensure that it is in
good working order. The purpose of the pilot drill is to
capture the slug when using a hole saw or steel cut-
ter. Pay attention to the coupon retention device, as
the coupon may not be captured if the device is dam-
aged.
NOTE! Do not use pilot drill with PVC cutters or the
CI/DI drills.
8. Insert this pilot drill into the hole saw adapter. Secure
the pilot drill in place with the set screw positioned on
the flat of the pilot and firmly tighten (Figure 4).
Figure 4 – Installation Of Pilot Drill
9. Attach the selected service saddle to the main in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's specifications or
weld the selected “Thread-O-Let™” or “Weld-O-Let™”
to the main in accordance with all applicable welding
standards.
10. Apply pipe sealant to the threads on the “corporation
stop”or valve and tightly thread it into the saddle or
“Thread-O-Let™”. Ensure the valve is in the CLOSED
position.
Determining Feasibility Of The Tap
Improper measurement may result in
tapping through the bottom of the pipe. To prevent
extensive property and environmental damage, fire
and/or serious injury, follow this procedure to de-
termine if the tap has been properly planned.
1. Measure the distance from the datum of the valve
adapter rear face to the end of the sleeve. As shown
in Figure 5 it should be about 1/8″.
WARNING

RT1000 Tapping Tool
Ridge Tool Company 7
Figure 5 – Measuring 1/8″Offset
2. Unscrew the sleeve back up the bronze barrel until it
stops. Measure the distance from a datum such as
the wrench flats on the feed screw to the end of the
sleeve (Figure 6). Subtract the distance from the
previous step (1) from this distance. The result is
63/4″full stroke. Note that the valve adapter/cutter
combinations affects stroke distance. Record the
stroke in the worksheet.
Figure 6 – Measuring Full Stroke Distance
3. Measure the distance from the surface of the pipe to
the outlet end of the valve as shown in Figure 7.
This is the minimum amount of stroke required before
making contact with the pipe. (In the example shown
it is 41/2″) Record this dimension in the worksheet. If
this distance is within 1″of the stroke distance from
Step 2, then this operation must be aborted and the
Tapping Tool reconfigured for a different valve and/or
saddle.
Figure 7 – Measuring Valve Stand-Off Distance –
Minimum Stroke
4. Measure the distance from the far surface of the pipe
to the outlet end of the valve as shown in Figure 8.
This is the maximum amount of stroke required to
break through the far side of the pipe. (In the example
shown, it is 101/2″) Record this dimension in the work-
sheet. If this distance is less than the stroke distance
from Step 3 then the Tapping Tool has enough travel
to penetrate the far side of the pipe.
Figure 8 – Measuring Valve Stand-Off Distance –
Maximum Stroke

If Tapping Tool has sufficient travel to
penetrate the far side of the pipe, extensive care must be
taken during the tapping operation. Be aware of the
unusable length of the stroke. Penetrating the far side of
the pipe could result in extensive property damage
and/or serious injury.
Tapping Into The Main
WARNING
• Do not exceed pressure and temperature ratings
or the tool and any attachment, valve or fitting.
Only tap into lines that contain water, air, steam
or natural gas.
• Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes
from dirt and other foreign objects.
• Be sure proper planning of the tapping operation
has been performed.
• Follow all applicable regulations and safety pre-
cautions regarding work area.
• When working below grade, have an adequate
escape route before starting the tap.
• When working on a scaffold or lift, the operator,
tool and drive assembly should all be properly
secured.
• Main being tapped must be securely mounted to
prevent any movement.
1. Attach the fully assembled and fully extended tapping
tool to the outlet thread of the valve by the valve
adapter. Pipe sealant is not required in the temporary
assembly between the valve and the valve adapter
but it should be snug enough not to leak.
2. Open, close and re-open the valve or the “corporation
stop”to ensure that the pilot drill does not interfere
with the operation of the valve. In the event of inter-
ference in closing the valve, the tool will not have
stroke to retrieve the cutter pass the valve. In this
case, another valve must be used and the whole
procedure must be re-started.
3. Turn the sleeve clockwise until the cutter contacts the
main, and back the sleeve one turn. Using the ratchet
wrench, or a power tool, rotate the drive shaft hex
WARNING
while continually applying pressure by turning the
sleeve. Do not apply too much pressure on the cutter.
Gentle feeding produces superior cutting and ex-
tended cutter life. Continue to drill
until no resistance is felt to advancing the sleeve.
Stop immediately. Continuation
past this point could cause penetration through the
far side of the pipe. This could result in extensive
property damage and/or serious injury.
When using power tools to drive this
tapping tool, understand and follow all safety instructions
associated with that power tool. Air power ratchets are
generally a safer choice due to the inherent explosion
and shock hazards associated with electrical tools.
•Electrical tools should not be used for natural gas
taps. Only use air or manual ratchets.
•Grounded electrical tools should be plugged into a
properly grounded outlet.
•Electrical tools should be plugged into an outlet pro-
tected with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
•Use only right angle electrical drills or air ratchets to ro-
tate the cutter. Tool must be fed at a controlled rate.
4. The drilling into the pipe is now complete and the
valve, saddle and tool are now under pressure.
Turn the sleeve counter-clockwise until the barrel
comes to a halt. Close the corporation stop or valve.
Should it be difficult to close the valve, rock the
valve open and closed until it can be completely
shut-off. Make sure the valve is
closed before proceeding.
5. Remove the ratchet or power tool from the hex on the
drive shaft. Place a wrench on the valve to prevent
disconnecting the valve as the adapter is unscrewed
with another wrench. The tool will suddenly come
free and any media contained in the tool will spill. If the
drilled pipe was drained, be aware that the cutter
may be hot.
6. Attach the new branch to the outlet end of the valve.
The valve may now be opened to activate the new
system.
7. To remove the coupon from the cutter, turn the sleeve
clock-wise until the cutter is exposed. Shell cutters
have a slot to allow the coupon to be pushed out.
Remove the cutter if required.
8. Remove the valve adapter, drill or cutter, pilot drill (if
used), saw adapter (if used) and extension from the
tool. Turn the sleeve clockwise until the tool is fully col-
lapsed. Wipe all the components until clean and dry
and store them in the toolbox.

Tool Disassembly Procedure
1. Turn the sleeve clockwise until all the threads of the
bronze feed screw are hidden and the tool is fully col-
lapsed. Place the tool horizontally on a table so parts
do not fall out.
2. Locate and remove the cap screws from the side of
the red cap.
3. Unscrew the red end cap. Note that any media that
has escaped the seal will collect under this cap and
may be spilled at this time. Do not remove the “main-
tenance free”flanged bushing from the end cap
unless replacement is intended. If the bearing must be
removed, use a 7/8″diameter pin to slowly press
the bushing out. Do not use a hammer as this may
damage the precision recess in the end cap for the
bushing.
4. Pull the spindle by pulling it from the cap end and re-
move it from the tool. Turn the sleeve clockwise until
the sleeve separates from the bronze feed screw. This
completes the disassembly of the tool.

dividual part until clean and dry.
2. Be careful not to wash parts with materials that will
corrode or degrade the parts in any way.
Tool Assembly Procedure
1. Inspect the bronze feed screw and sleeve for any
damage, replace if required. Lubricate the acme
threads on the bronze feed screw with grease. Place
bronze feed screw inside sleeve and then turn the
sleeve clockwise onto the bronze feed screw until the
top end of the bronze feed screw is flush with the
sleeve. Place the tool horizontally on a table so parts
do not fall out. Lubricate the o-ring that is just inside
the top of the bronze feed screw.
2. Inspect the spindle/cap assembly for any damage
and replace if required. Insert the spindle into the
