Results for tag: "Tapping Sleeve"

A tapping sleeve is a type of valve used in piping systems. It is a cylindrical sleeve with a hole in the center, which is used to connect two pipes together. The sleeve is inserted into the pipe and then sealed with a gasket. The sleeve is then tapped with a tap to create a threaded connection. This allows for the connection of two pipes without the need for welding or soldering. Tapping sleeves are commonly used in water, gas, and oil pipelines. Tapping sleeves are available in a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, and plastic. They are also available in a range of sizes and pressure ratings. The selection of the right tapping sleeve depends on the application and the type of pipe being connected. Some of the companies in the tapping sleeve market include Apollo Valves, Flomatic Corporation, Mueller Industries, and Nibco. Show Less Read more
