Geopress tapping valves are made of high-quality plastic. They are
equipped with an outlet sleeve for Geopress K.
The fitting is pressed onto the supply line. A spring set in the bottom
part of the pipe clamp keeps the pressing force on the pipe at a con‐
stant level. The integrated cutter is connected to the actuating spindle.
The cutter is used for tapping and subsequently remains in the fitting.
The cutter holds the cut-out pipe wall plate securely. The sleeve in the
drill hole prevents the tapping valve from twisting on the supply line.
The model is equipped with an operation shut-off for the house service
connection. The spindle acts as a drilling rod during tapping, and after
commissioning as an actuating spindle for the shut-off.
