TM400 Hot Tapping Machine (16-48 in)

To operate effectively, the TM400's hydraulic drive system requires a power source that can deliver a minimum of 20 gallons per minute (GPM) at a pressure of 2000 pounds per square inch (psi). This ensures the machine has adequate power for smooth, controlled cutting through large-diameter pressurized lines without stalling or damage.

The TM400 excels in heavy-duty applications such as maintenance and expansion of municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, large-scale industrial pipeline servicing, and repairs on oil and gas distribution lines. Its design allows for cutting into pressurized pipelines without interrupting service, making it essential for critical infrastructure projects.

Each TM400 hot tapping machine is supplied as a complete system ready for operation. Standard equipment includes the cutter holder, a handwheel for manual control, and a set of depth measuring rods. This ensures you have the core components needed to begin your large-diameter tapping operations right out of the box.

Yes, one of our key advantages is our ability to manufacture custom equipment. We can produce tapping adapters (cutter housings) to mount the TM400 to any tapping valve or flange in the world. Our engineering team can work with your specific requirements to ensure seamless integration with your existing pipeline hardware and systems.

While the standard cutters are designed for metal pipes, we manufacture specialized large-diameter hole saws for various materials. This includes diamond segment cutters specifically engineered for tapping into concrete-lined pipes. Please specify your application when requesting a quote so we can include the appropriate cutter for your project.

The TM400 has a pressure rating of 350 psi. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications in water, wastewater, and industrial pipeline systems where hot tapping is required on lines operating under significant pressure. Always ensure your setup and safety protocols align with the line's specific operating pressure and this limit.
