Tapping ball valve for side tapping gas under pressure

Areas of Application

The FRIALEN-Tapping Ball Valve, completely made from HD-PE, makes it possible to tap sideways into an operational HD-PE mains under gas and water pressure (no drinking water!) – without any escape of gas or water.

Assembly Instructions

The fusion of FRIALEN Tapping Ball Valves to the HD-PE main takes place by FRIALEN fusing – leakproof and longitudinally strong. The pipe and the saddle have to be prepared (oxide layer removal/cleaning) in accordance with the general installation instructions (see „Assembly Instructions“ for FRIALEN Safety Fittings for house connections and distribution pipes up to d 225).

Tapping of the HD-PE pipe under operating pressure

For this we recommend the tapping equipment of Hütz + Baumgarten. It is clamped onto the exposed fusion end of the ball valve. The tapping of the HD-PE pipe takes place through the opened ball valve and is leakage free.

Actuating the shut-off valve

By the telescopic actuating installation kit KBS from the valve cover.

Good reasons for using the FRIALEN-Tapping Ball Valves:

• Fusioning and tapping under pressure saves time-consuming and expensive shut-offs and emergency supply during the integration

• Installation of mains and service lines takes place on one level and thus affords advantages in the planning stages

• Construction and connecting works are reduced to a minimum

• The ball valve can be used as a shut-off device afterwards

• Additional barcode for tracing back the underground fitting (Traceability-Coding)
