Logam Utara's involvement in the water industry has prompted the supply of 3 main products, namely the under-pressure linetapping/linestopping machines, pipes accessories such as coupling and flange adaptors and pipe cutting machines.

Hydra-Stopping System

ELIMINATES COMPLETE WATER SYSTEM SHUTDOWNS THAT CREATE MAJOR SERVICE DISRUPTIONS WHILE NEEDED REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WORK IS BEING DONE.

The line-stopping machine or Hydra-Stop is a perfect complement for the line tapping machines to perform more complex operations such as a pipeline bypass and seamless pipeline repair work. The Hydra-Stop provides new solutions to old distribution system problems. Hydra-Stop equipment can be used to isolate for repair or replacement of valves and hydrants in minutes on any commonly used cast iron, asbestos cement, steel, ductile iron or plastic pipes with accuracy and reliability. The Hydra-Tap and Hydra-Stop are available for sizes 4” to 20”.

Hydra-Tap system - Line tapping system

Weighing at 60-70 lbs, the light weight line-tapping machine, also known as the Hydra-Tap makes pressure taps on gas or water lines quickly and easily. The machine requires only one operator, compared to the traditional tapping machine that requires two, three or even more workers to perform a simple hot tap. Besides reducing labor cost, the Hydra-Tap is engineered to ease of maintenance with fewer moving parts, designed to operate without costly and annoying malfunctions. The lightweight machine also eliminates the need for expensive blocking and bracing, often required for supporting traditional heavy tapping equipments.

The machine is also designed for gas pipelines with a rating of 250 p.s.i.. The Hydra-Tap uses pneumatic or hydraulic motor drives. The only accessory you need for future taps is the hot tapping sleeves, used as the pipeline tee off connections.
