Tapping Sleeves & Valves

Tapping sleeves and valves are engineered assemblies used to create new branch connections on pressurized water mains without shutting down the system. Commonly used in municipal water distribution, fire protection, and utility infrastructure applications, these products allow for safe, controlled tapping into ductile iron, steel, and PVC pipelines. The tapping sleeve provides a sealed connection to the existing pipe, while the tapping valve controls flow to the new service line. Available in fabricated steel, stainless steel, full-wrap, split-body, and mechanical joint configurations, tapping sleeves and valves support new service installations, system expansions, and live-line tapping operations.
