The Hot-Hed Hot-Tap is a drilling machine used to make connections to pipelines, tanks and plant piping without the need to shutdown. The Hot-Tap is also utilized in making hot taps in preparation for plugging machine operations.

We provide hot tap drilling tools and equipment which are manually or pneumatically power-driven and are capable of making 1/2" through 4" (DN15-DN100) taps. This allows Hot-Hed Service Crews to tap into pipe and tanks while they are still under pressure, without the need to shutdown. Our Hot Tapping tools are also used to install 2" and 3" completion plugs in tapping nipples to permit recovery of tapping valves.
