| After a water main has been renewed with Duraliner™, there may be a need to add a tee, fitting, hydrant connection, or make a repair when a renewed line may have been damaged in some unrelated excavation. | 
|
| In any of these cases, a section of the host pipe and Duraliner™ is cut out to add a fitting or to remove a damaged section. | 
|
| In this sequence, a standard ductile iron wheel cutter is used to make a circumferential cut through the ductile iron line. This is done with a hand cutter. After this cut is made, the short length of ductile iron is pulled off using a slight twisting motion. If the cut piece will not move by hand, a grinding wheel is used to score the ductile iron longitudinally, and then the cut is finished with a hand chisel to allow removal. A small pry bar may be used in the longitudinal cut to relieve the line for easy removal. The opposing end is prepared in the same manner. |
