4472 All Stainless Flanged Outlet Tapping Sleeve
Description
Enhanced construction and increased metal thickness offer additional support for both the pipe and outlet. The added bolt strength and thicker body address issues commonly associated with lightweight sleeves. The reduced weight facilitates easier installation and handling while also reducing stress on the pipe. Furthermore, the wide, robust hydromechanical gasket ensures suitability for high-pressure applications.
These sleeves are particularly well-suited for challenging tapping scenarios, such as pump and lift stations, as well as large-diameter mains and outlets. Serving as the top choice for larger sizes of ductile iron, PVC, PE, and steel pipe, they boast a working pressure capacity 1.5 times higher than valves commonly used with these pipe types. Additionally, high-pressure sleeves are available upon request.
With their wider design and reinforced neck and body materials, these sleeves offer increased outlet support and stability during the tapping process. Surprisingly cost-effective across all sizes, the larger diameter sleeves are priced lower than ductile iron mechanical joint sleeves, despite offering superior corrosion resistance and pressure capabilities.
