Drilling machines are used to make connections to pipelines, tanks and plant piping without shutdown and are used to make hot taps in preparation for plugging machine applications.
The T-101 Drilling Machine is a manual or power-driven machine which taps into pipe while under pressure. It is used for making 1/2” through 4” (DN 15 - DN 100) taps without shutdown. It can be used to install 2” and 3” completion plugs in tapping nipples to permit recovery of tapping valves and to install TDW PIG-SIG® Scraper Passage Indicators.
