Our tapping machines cover an extensive range of applications, from small 3/4" utility lines to large 72" municipal water mains. Whether you need a lightweight electric machine for small taps or a heavy-duty hydraulic unit for large-diameter pipelines, we have a solution to fit your project's scale.

Yes, we offer both electric and hydraulic models. Our electric machines, like the TM100 and TM200, are ideal for smaller taps where 110V power is accessible. Our hydraulic machines provide the robust power needed for medium to very large diameter hot tapping operations on pressurized pipelines.

All Schallert Enterprises tapping machines and compatible parts are proudly manufactured in the USA at our facility in Lake Elsinore, California. This ensures we maintain the highest standards of quality control, material integrity, and craftsmanship in every product we build, providing you with durable equipment.

Absolutely. Custom manufacturing is one of our core strengths. We can engineer and produce tapping adapters and large-diameter hole saws to fit any tapping machine in the world. If you have unique specifications or need to integrate with non-standard equipment, contact our team to discuss a custom solution.

Our standard tapping machines are engineered to operate safely on pressurized pipelines up to 350 PSI. This rating covers the vast majority of municipal water and industrial pipeline applications. For projects with higher pressure requirements, please contact us to discuss potential custom-engineered solutions.

Hot tapping is the process of creating a connection to a pressurized pipeline or vessel without interrupting flow or shutting down the system. It involves attaching a fitting, mounting a valve, and then using a specialized tapping machine to cut into the pipe through the valve, ensuring safe and continuous operation.
