Description
The JCM 422 carbon steel tapping sleeve is built for tapping and branching IPS PVC, steel, HDPE and C900 PVC. Its extra-wide body reinforces PVC pipe, spreads the load and keeps the sleeve stable during the tap, and a broad, heavy gasket with a hydromechanical lip seals on PVC through its normal expansion and contraction.
It is furnished fusion epoxy coated with electro-coated bolts (stainless bolts optional). JCM does not recommend it for cast iron, ductile iron or A/C pipe; use the JCM 412 there.
Typical application: Branching: line branches, valves, internal line access.
Key Features
- Flanged outlet recessed for the tapping valve per MSS-SP60
- Full sleeve reinforces the pipe; lighter than cast sleeves
- Furnished with a 3/4 in NPT test plug
- Rated 175 PSI on 4-12 in outlets
- Meets MSS-SP124 and ANSI/AWWA C223 as applicable; ANSI/NSF 61 and 372 certified
What Ships and What It Needs to Run
Included: the sleeve halves with the gasket, bolts and nuts, and the 3/4 in test plug.
Tapping valve and tapping machine, ordered separately. A flanged tapping valve bolts to the outlet; size-on-size taps need a 1/2 in undersized shell cutter.
