5.1.6 Tapping of Pressure
Tapping Tees
Remove blanking plug. Turn the drill
down up to the lower stop using the
matching FRIALEN
®
activating key
(SW 19) (See Figure 16).
Turn the drill backwards up to the
upper stop. Position the blanking
plug and turn down the FRIALEN
®
activating key until the collar of the
plug slightly touches the front face
of the drill spigot.
Subsequently, turn back the plug
half a turn to relieve the O-ring
tension.
WARNING!
If the collar is excessively tightened, the plug may break or the hexa-
gonal seat may be overwound. In this case, the plug has to be replaced.
We recommend closing the tapping dome with a fusion cap K. The
required scraping and cleaning are to be performed (see items 4.2 - 4.8).
