For a particular installation, the allowable working pressure will be determined by the size of pipe, type of pipe, type of clamp, type and extent of damage, service conditions, environmental conditions, and installation workmanship. Smith-Blair has the following recommendations for using its tapping sleeves on HDPE pipe. 1.nal outlet size should be used. 2.To support the tapping sleeve gasket on the tangent line, a hole not larger than 2/3 the pipe outside diameter should be used. 3.To reduce the thermal elongation of the piping and its associated chaffing of the tapping sleeve gasket, only underground applications should be used. 4.The tapping sleeve gasket requires pipe support to seal, therefore pipe wall thickness of SDR 17 or greater is suggested. 5.The operating pressure shall not exceed the pressure rating of the pipe or the maximum pressure rating of the fitting; whichever is less. 6.The piping systems should be designed to compensate for pipe movement to prevent the fittings from moving or rotating on the pipe. 7.Consult the HDPE pipe manufacturer concerning the long term suitability of mechanical type sealing fittings over the lifetime of their HDPE pipe. Use of this fitting on PVC pipe is limited to wall thicknesses DR 25 or thicker. Consult the PVC pipe manufacturer concerning the long term suitability of mechanical type sealing fittings over the lifetime of their PVC pipe.
