The Triple Tap Tapping with Mechanical Joint End (MJ END) is designed to allow the end user to use standard on the shelf MJ by MJ valves rather than more expensive tapping valves.
The MJ End combination is available for use with valves as large as 16”.
The Triple Tap features several important advantages, including a double range body, allowing for a substantial reduction in inventory. The Triple Tap Accommodates the tapping of steel, ductile, pvc, polyethylene and asbestos-cement pipes with one sleeve in a given diameter range. Standard sizes are available to 30” in diameter and special sizes to 48” in diameter are available upon request.
All Triple Tap Tapping Sleeves are pressure rated to an aperture seal rating of 250 psi, and the final pressure rating is determined by the specified flange. The product line is available with a mechanical joint end (MJ) and all ends are rated at 250 psi.
Normally, sleeves specified with AWWA Class “D” Flanges are rated to the rating of the flange. Flange pressure ratings may be referenced in the AWWA Standards.
