Milwaukee Valve has produced a new Technical Bulletin to cover sizing and guidance for hot tapping of the company’s cast iron and cast steel gate valves. Hot tapping is the method used to attach a branch connection in a pressurized system without removing the line from service. It is usually performed when it is impractical to take equipment or piping line out of service or when it is difficult to clean the line by conventional methods.
