Hot TappingHot tap connection
A tapping machine, valve, and bolted fitting mounted on exposed pipe.
Work in context
The method is only useful when it fits the line.
See Koppl equipment and field work across a range of pipeline applications. Each job starts with the pipe, access, and operating conditions.

Start with the line and the work ahead.
Share what needs to change and what must stay in service. Line data, drawings, and current site photographs help Koppl review the available methods.
Pipeline conditions
- Pipe material, diameter, wall thickness, and current condition
- Operating pressure, temperature, and the material carried by the line
- Existing valves, connections, and available isolation points
Site requirements
- Work location, excavation, equipment clearance, and site access
- Required connection, repair, or permanent control point
- Schedule and the services that must remain operating
