Style 50 Repair Sleeves 

The versatile Dresser Style 50 split repair sleeve can provide a safe, efficient method of hot tapping cast iron pipe under pressure. It can also be ordered without the pipe branch and serve as an emergency repair sleeve, eliminating the necessity of stocking separate tapping and repair sleeves.

Style 50 sleeves can be furnished with any size threaded, flanged or plain-end tapping branch, custom-fabricated at the plant to meet any requirement. Each sleeve can accommodate several branch sizes, permitting further inventory reductions. Branches can be supplied with special taps for insertion of bagging equipment when low-pressure tapping is performed.

Style 50 Sleeve Features:

• Fabricated from steel and insulated to meet D.O.T. standards 
• Factory-assembled to facilitate handling, storage and ease of installation 
• Sleeve halves are match-marked to assure a proper fit 
• No service interruptions during the installation procedure 
• Deflection and line stresses absorbed when used as a repair device for complete breaks 
• Time-proven sealing principle 
• Sleeve can be pressure tested to ensure sealing performance prior to tapping
