The hot tap drill is the universal tool to install your insertion flow meter in any compressed air system. In only 30 minutes you can drill a hole and install your flow meter. Using a hot tap saddle and a hot tap drill, you can create a new installation point without depressurizing your installation. The VPInstruments exclusive hot tap drill can be used for drilling through a hot tap saddle with a 1” fitting.
Compared to low cost electrical hot tap drills, which are prone to jamming and breaking of the drill head, our hot tap drill is safe and easy to operate. See our instruction video for details.
