STEP 7
Tap Line - After joint has cured and necessary downstream connections
have been made, the live line may be tapped.
Remove cap from saddle body. Using a ratchet and 6" extension, turn
thread cutter in a clockwise direction (Note: use 3/8" drive for 3/4" branch
socket units, use a 1/2" drive for 1/1/2" branch socket units). Resistance
will occur when the blade contacts the pipe. Continue until resistance is
reduced, indicating that the cutter has cut through the pipe.
WARNING: DO NOT "OVER-DRIVE" THE CUTTER BEYOND THE
SPECIFIED DIMENSIONS.
Reverse ratchet direction (clounter-clockwise) and thread cutter to open
fl ow to branch. Continue until the top of the cutter is fl ush with face of saddle
body top. The coupon cut from the pipe will be permanetly retained inside
the cutter. The cutter does not needto be removed from the unit (Note:
depending on the system pressure, a slight weeping may be observed at
cutter threads until cap is installed in Step 8).
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE CUTTER. REMOVAL OF
CUTTER UNDER PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS OR
FATAL BODILY INJURY.

STEP 8
Cap Installation - Check that the O-ring is properly in place and install cap
over top of saddle body. Tighten snug (Note: DO NOT use any thread
sealant). This completes the Hot-Tap Saddle installation.
PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
CAUTION: The system must be designed and installed so as not to pull the
components in any direction. Pipe system must be cut and installed in such
a manner as to avoid all stress loads associated with bending, pulling, or
shifting. All piping systems must be supported.
NOT FOR USE WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR GAS
WARNING: Do not use compressed air or gas to test any PVC or CPVC
thermoplastic piping product or system, and do not use devices propelled
by compressed air or gas to clear the systems. These practices may result
in explosive fragmentation of systems piping and components causing
bodily injury or death.
All air must be bled from the system during the initial fl uid fi ll. Pressure
testing of the system must not be made until all solvent cement joints have
properly cured. Initial pressure testing must be made at approximately 10%
of the system hydrostatic pressure rating to identify potential problems
prior to testing at higher pressures.
