452 All Stainless Steel Tapping Sleeve with Outlet Seal Gasket

The 452 All Stainless Steel Tapping Sleeve incorporates the heavy duty design of the fabricated steel tapping sleeve with the corrosion resistance of all stainless steel. This heavy design utilizes a broad cross section, hydro-mechanical outlet gasket in lieu of the full body gasket. This outlet gasket provides a positive seal, which increases with increase in line pressure. The 452 has been engineered for installations requiring higher working pressure, higher safety factor or longer service life than standard all stainless or cast iron sleeves and manufactured to provide the superior corrosion resistance in applications on mains which are not subject to beam breaks.

Heavy all stainless tapping sleeves offer extra benefits.

All Stainless Construction - All stainless steel construction provides extra corrosion resistance. The stainless steel flange, outlet and body join as one unit of similar metals to assure the highest structural strength and long-term corrosion resistance. Heavy Duty Design -Heavier construction and thicker metal provide extra reinforcement of the pipe and outlet. The extra bolting power and body thickness eliminate problems inherent with lightweight sleeves.

High Pressure Capability - High Safety Factor -The broad, heavy hydromechanical gasket provides for high working pressure applications. They are also ideal for critical problem prone taps such as pump and l stations, large diameter mains and large outlets.

Large Sizes - High Pressure -The premier sleeve for larger sizes of ductile iron, PVC, PE and steel pipe. High-pressure sleeves are available on request.

Stronger - Yet Lighter Than Cast Sleeves - Reduced weight aids in installation and handling as well as reducing load on the pipe.

Extra Wide for Support and Stability - Extra width and heavier neck and body material provide extra reinforcement of the outlet and extra stability during the tapping process.

Affordable - These all stainless sleeves are surprisingly affordable in all sizes. Larger sleeves are priced less than ductile iron mechanical joint sleeves which offer less corrosion resistance and pressure capability.

452 All Stainless Steel Tapping Sleeve with Outlet Seal Gasket

The 452 All Stainless steel Tapping Sleeve is especially recommended for applications involving large diameters, high working pressures and fluctuating line pressures in corrosive or acidic environments. Direct compression of the gasket provides maximum sealing capability for high or fluctuating pressures.
