Jcm Industries 432-1320X4 Flanged Tapping Sleeve 4 in

Product Description

The JCM INDUSTRIES 432-1320X4 is a flanged stainless steel tapping sleeve designed to create a branch connection on an existing pressurized main without requiring a full line shutdown. Constructed from 304L stainless steel and rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, this sleeve accepts a 4-inch flanged tap outlet and fits pipe with an outside diameter range of 13.10 inches to 13.50 inches, corresponding to a nominal 12-inch pipe. It meets AWWA C-228, ANSI 61, NSF 61, and MSS SP-60 standards, making it suitable for potable water distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This tapping sleeve is used in municipal water distribution and industrial piping applications where a live tap is required on a 12-inch main. The flanged outlet connects directly to a tapping valve and tapping machine, allowing a new service branch or lateral to be added under pressure. The straight fitting configuration and stainless steel body make it well suited for buried or exposed installations where corrosion resistance is a priority. It is commonly specified on potable water mains, reclaimed water lines, and industrial process piping where NSF 61 certification is required.

Key Features

• 304L stainless steel body provides corrosion resistance for buried and exposed service
• 4-inch flanged tap outlet for direct connection to a tapping valve
• Fits 12-inch nominal pipe with an OD range of 13.10 inches to 13.50 inches
• 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
• NSF 61 certified for use on potable water systems
• Meets AWWA C-228, ANSI 61, and MSS SP-60 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use on 12-inch nominal pipe with an outside diameter between 13.10 inches and 13.50 inches. Suitable for ductile iron, cast iron, PVC, and other pipe materials that fall within this OD range. Verify actual pipe OD before installation to confirm sleeve range compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation of a tapping sleeve and valve assembly is performed by licensed plumbers or certified waterworks contractors and typically falls under local water authority requirements and AWWA standards. Confirm the existing main pressure does not exceed the 150 psi rating of this sleeve before proceeding. Use a tapping machine rated for the outlet size and flange class to complete the hot tap. Follow all applicable local codes and the authority having jurisdiction requirements for pressure testing the assembled sleeve prior to tapping.
