Install the complete tapping tool onto the ball
valve and tighten the tool.
When doing this, make certain the valve doesn’t
inadvertently turn.
Position feed tube so it is flush with the bottom
thread.
Make sure the ball valve is open. (The ball valve
is open if the handle is in an upward position.)
Hold the drilling rod firmly so it doesn’t drop, pull
out the bayonet lock on tapping device.
Carefully lower drilling rod until pilot drill
touches the surface of the pipeline to be tapped.
When doing this, make sure the bayonet lock is in
a free position and does not lock into the drilling
rod.
After the pilot drill is in contact with the pipeline,
lock the feed tube to the drilling rod at the closest
hole on the drilling rod using the bayonet lock. Do
this by either rotating the feed tube until it locks in
place or pulling up on drilling rod.
Locate the maximum drilling depth by measuring
1-7/8” down from the bottom of the feed tube.
Place a mark on the brass tapping tube. (In picture,
3/4” tape was used.)
1-7/8”
