The Water Tap Tool is designed to be used with a 2'' IPS PhilMac valve and to make taps through a 2'' branch saddle into water mains. This tool can be used with the No. 2LC, or the No. 14 fusion machines in combination with the Sidewinder. You can also use the Model 2 Live Water Tap package making the Sidewinder the only fusion machine required. The user does not have to do any compatibility fusion in the tool makeup. Main line contamination is eliminated by containing continuous chips in the cutter, ahead of the coupon, then retracting them out of the main. Tool components are butt fused together, eliminating the need for safety chains. The gland fitting of the tool includes a packing seal, ensuring no leakage around the cutter drive shaft, and a test valve.
