Take The Pressure Out of Tapping Pipes Under Pressure

Ideal for Decontamination and Disposal (D&D) work, D-Series Pipe Tapping Tools facilitate tapping, sampling and draining the contents of pipe and pressure vessels. When used with a standard 3/8" Drill, the D-Series tools provide a clean drilled 0.25" or 0.38" diameter hole in host pipe. The large 3/4" NPT outlet on the tools' body provides sampling and drainage port. Simple bolt-on installation – no welding or pyrotechnics are needed.

Two configurations available:

DTT Model - taps into the underside of the host pipe at a low point in the line. 
  • DTT kit includes tapping tool, saddle assembly, and pipe cap for indicated host pipe size.
D2 Model - taps and drains host pipes lying along the floor or other obstructions.
  • D2 kit includes tapping tool, saddle and backing assembly, and pipe cap for indicated host pipe size.
