Purpose-built hot tapping and line stopping equipment for reliable pressurized pipeline work.
USA-made hot tapping equipment for cutting into pressurized pipelines without interrupting flow, including machines, adapters, cutters, and pilot drills for a broad range of applications.
Tapping machines support hot taps from ¾ inch to 72 inches in diameter, giving contractors and utilities durable equipment for work on pressurized lines.
Cutter housings are made for any tap size and can mount to tapping machines worldwide, with standard ANSI 150# patterns and optional double drilling for MJ valves.
Choose carbide-tipped, HSS-tipped, or diamond-segment cutters for pipeline materials and applications, including concrete-lined pipe and large-diameter taps.
Pilot drills with catch wires help retain coupons during tapping. Threaded, push-style, and twisted-flute options fit varied machine and wall-thickness requirements.
Line stop equipment includes folding heads, pivoting heads, housings, actuators, flanges, and completion tools to support isolation, maintenance, and repair work.
Live tapping, also called hot tapping, cuts into a pressurized pipeline without interrupting flow through that section. It enables contractors and utilities to add connections, perform maintenance, or prepare line-stop work while minimizing operational disruption. Schallert Enterprises manufactures the equipment needed for the job, from ¾-inch to 72-inch tapping machines, adaptable cutter housings, cutters, pilot drills, and complementary line-stop components.

Live tapping, commonly called hot tapping, is the process of cutting into a pressurized pipeline without shutting down flow in that section. A fitting and valve are installed first, then a tapping machine, adapter, cutter, and pilot drill create the opening through the valve. The equipment is withdrawn after cutting, allowing the new connection to be controlled safely.
