What is Hot Tapping? 
Hot tapping (or mainline tapping) is frequently used to add branches for system modifications or instrumentation or to repair areas that have undergone mechanical damage or corrosion. 

Hot tapping is the method of making a connection to existing piping system or pressure vessel without the interrupting or emptying that section of pipe or vessel. 

A pipe or tank can continue to be in operation while maintenance or modifications are being done to it. This saves the customer time and money eliminating the need for costly shut downs.

In addition to the economic benefits, there are also distinct environmental advantages to installing a hot tapped connection without removing the system from service.
