Hot Tapping a Pipe > Solution Details

Rather than a glovebag

Solution entered: 2/20/2008    Solution updated: 3/2/2008

Recommend to taping a glue-on sleeve to the pipe and install a drain fitting and Tygon tubing. A glue-on sleeve is shaped like a "top hat" worn with a Tuxedo. The sleeve can be taped around the drill so the drill bit and chuck rotate inside the sleeve. The drain fitting will then be installed at the low point. If they see water dripping, immediately stop drilling until the dripping stops. Then continue drilling until breakthrough. Plan is to try it on a mockup first to ensure it works. If not, install a glovebag.
