JCM 414 Fabricated Mechanical Joint Tapping Sleeve Brochure

This tapping sleeve combines the high strength and versatility of fabricated steel with the traditional side and end gasketed mechanical joint design. These sleeves are ideal for potential problem installations where strength, weight and beam load considerations are critical.

The JCM 414 Fabricated Mechanical Joint Tapping Sleeve is recommended for taps on pipe that will not accommodate a direct top seal tapping sleeve. The 414 utilizes a true mechanical joint sleeve design that completely encompasses the tap area, eliminating any potential leaks due to pipe cracks or breaks. Side gaskets are internally and externally trapped in a recessed groove machined into the bolting lug bars that completely compress the gaskets creating the watertight seal on the sides of the sleeve. The end gaskets are compressed into the sleeve housing with mechanical joint end glands, providing the water tight seal on the ends of the sleeve and completing the full encapsulation of the tap area.
