| On water lines being renewed by Duraliner™, there are existing residential type taps that need to be incorporated with the renewed system. The tap locations are excavated, and the tapped section is removed from the host line. A standard sizing sleeve with transition collars is installed. | 
|
| The Duraliner™ starting stock is pulled through the sizing sleeve and expansion is completed. | 
|
| After expansion and removal of the hardware, a standard PVC tapping collar is installed. | 
|
| Using a standard tapping machine with PVC cutting bits, the tap is performed. | 
|
| After the tap is completed, the corporation is installed, and reconnection is completed. | 
|
| The installed tap is shown here. |
