A hot tap on a water main is the process of cutting an opening into a pressurized pipe while the line remains in service. A tapping machine, adapter, valve, cutter, and pilot drill are used to create the branch connection safely. This allows utilities and contractors to add service connections, bypasses, or access points without shutting down water flow.
