Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hot tapping and cold tapping?

Hot tapping allows a connection or branch to be cut into a pressurized, in-service pipeline without shutting down flow, using a tapping machine and pressure-rated fittings. Cold tapping refers to drilling or cutting into a pipeline that has been depressurized and taken out of service, which requires a full shutdown and is generally slower and more disruptive to operations.
