iTAP™
 Internal Reinstatement of Service Connections
iTAP™ is a robotic method of reinstating service connections from inside the main. Traditionally, the service connections were restored by digging holes. iTAP™ saves time and avoids the added costs and disruptions of digging.
Technical Capabilities
· Distribution pipe diameter ranges from 0.15m to 0.3m
· Seal tested to 20+ bar
· Mechanical seal produced by brass and EPDM gasket
During the iTAP™ process, a remote operator uses innovative, non-visual technology to locate the service connections from inside a lined main and robotically cuts through the liner at each service opening. A special device is used to tap each corporation valve. As a final step, a sealing nut and gasket are installed in each threaded corporation valve creating a water-tight seal.
Insituform Blue™ drinking water lining products are certified by NSF to comply with the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 61.
