Frequently Asked Questions

What is a line stop in plumbing?

A line stop is a pipeline isolation method used to temporarily block flow in a pressurized pipe so crews can repair, replace, or maintain a section without shutting down the entire system. In utility and industrial work, a line stop typically uses a tapping connection, valve, line stop fitting, and plugging head to create a controlled, temporary seal.
