Mechanical Bolt On Hot Tap Fittings- are they per Code?
Mechanical Bolt On Hot Tap Fittings- are they per Code?
(OP)
Can anyone supply me with an actual code reference (or relevant code interpretation) to a permanently attached mechanical hot tap fitting? B31.8 Section 849.6 "Service Line Connections to Mains" makes references to: b)- using a service line clamp or saddle, and c)- using compression fittings with rubber or rubber like gaskets to connect the service line to the main connection ( I presume this is permanent fitting). Also in API 570 section 8.1.4 reference is made to clamp on fittings, but only in a "temporary" repair fashion.
These types of fittings have been around and successfully installed for well over 25 years and I am on a project where the client wants to see a code reference. Your valued input will be greatly appreciated

I would give someone like Plidco, Red Flame, or the company supplying your fittings a call to verify code compliance.
