For
use in weld-hazardous areas
Branch
connections can be made to existing pipelines in weld-hazardous areas by
using PLIDCO Hot-Tapping+Saddles where surrounding conditions do not
permit the immediate installation of a welded application. Utilizing the
PLIDCO Split+Sleeve design and construction, they are easily installed
by simply tightening side bolts.
The PLIDCO Hot-Tapping+Saddle includes design criteria per code covering
branch connections on pipelines.
Available with full size branches and in any range of sizes and
pressures, with threaded, welded or flanged outlets. Buna-n packing is
standard, other packings available.
For overall specifications, contact the factory.
For
plugging operations
PLIDCO
Hot-Tapping+Saddles are used in weld hazardous areas and where company
policy dictates that the hot tapping saddle be reclaimed, reconditioned
and used again.
Installation is faster since welding is eliminated. Just bolt on the
PLIDCO Hot-Tapping+Saddles, assemble tapping equipment, perform a
hydrotest and proceed with plugging operation.
PLIDCO Hot-Tapping+Saddles, when used for plugging operations, are
designed to include clamping area on each end to restrict any movement
of the fitting because of possible forces induced when setting the plug.
The plugging head, when set, will be within the PLIDCO
Hot-Tapping+Saddle.
When conditions are favorable, PLIDCO Hot-Tapping+Saddles may be
permanently welded to pipeline.
