Water Line Hot Tap Machines

Hydraulic machines offer powerful, high-torque performance ideal for large-diameter taps on mains. Electric models, such as our TM100, are more portable and convenient for smaller taps (typically under 12 inches), running on standard 110V power for ease of use on site.

Our equipment covers a vast range of applications. The TM100 handles small taps from 0.75 inches, while our heavy-duty TM6120 machine is capable of performing taps up to 72 inches in diameter, making it suitable for the largest municipal water infrastructure projects.

All of our hot tapping machines are engineered for high-pressure environments. They are consistently rated to operate safely on pressurized lines up to 350 psi, ensuring reliable performance and operator safety during critical tapping operations on active water mains.

Yes, all Schallert Enterprises hot tapping machines and related equipment are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured at our facility in the USA. This ensures strict quality control, durable construction, and equipment that is built to last for decades in the field.

Not necessarily. Our machines are designed for a range of tap sizes. For example, the TM200 handles taps from 3" to 12". We also offer add-on kits for certain models, like the TM100, to expand their capabilities beyond the base size range, providing greater operational flexibility.
