How Threaded and Completion Plug Spherical 3-Way Tees Works

Temporarily plugging a pressurized Pipeline Hot Tapping operation with a Line Stop Fitting and Hydra-Stopper Line Stop Machine starts with a single circular hole — commonly known as a “tap” — cut into the top of the pipe without the need to ream or sever the pipe. After completing the work, remove the line stop machine and attach a completion plug.
