TM250 Hot Tapping Machine (4-14 in)

The TM250 is designed for medium-diameter applications, capable of performing hot taps ranging from 4 inches up to 14 inches in diameter. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide variety of water main and industrial pipeline maintenance tasks, ensuring precise and reliable connections.

The TM250 is a hydraulically driven machine. It requires a hydraulic power source capable of delivering a minimum of 8 gallons per minute (GPM) at 2200 psi to operate effectively. This ensures sufficient power for smooth cutting through various pipe materials under pressure.

The TM250 machine head weighs only 160 lbs, making it a lightweight option for its capability. This design consideration helps improve maneuverability and ease of setup on the job site, reducing operator fatigue and simplifying handling during pipeline maintenance operations.

To accommodate different project requirements and valve sizes, the TM250 hot tapping machine is available with two standard stroke length options: 28 inches and 42 inches. This allows operators to select the appropriate travel distance for the boring bar to complete the tap successfully.

Yes, absolutely. The TM250 is specifically designed for hot tapping operations, which involve cutting into active, pressurized pipelines without interrupting flow or service. Its robust construction and 350 PSI pressure rating ensure safe and reliable performance under live conditions.
