existing piping or vessels without interruption to the system. Hot tapping
is also the first procedure in line stopping, where the hole saw is used to
make an opening in the pipe, so a line plugging head can be inserted. IFT’s
hot tapping services include tapping 1/2" to 96" on natural gas, water,
sewage, steam, petroleum products, and chemicals.
