6″ PVC HOT TAP
Project Overview
This project involved completing a 6″ hot tap on an existing PVC pipeline to add a new branch connection without requiring major system disruption. WellFab executed the work with attention to material compatibility, sealing integrity, coupon control, and clean tie-in preparation.
The completed connection provided a reliable expansion point while maintaining the performance advantages of the PVC piping system.
Scope of Work
