I've seen newer rigs that have the bypass in the drill head, so you only have to set 2 heads not 4.

Pretty cool

Сперва показалось, что это учат как воровскую врезку в трубопровод делать
Хотя... Их так же делают.

Если такое объяснить или даже показать начальству перед выполнением подобной задачи, то можно будет услышать только одно-ты что, самый умный что ли

What happens with the pipe material that was cut? Does it go along with the flow? Can’t it cause operating problems?

[AhmadZahir]

Is there any maximum length or no min max length for hot tapping?

All this so you can install a shut off valve in a line that couldn't be shut off for you to install it in the first place... wild.

me and the boys when we need battle pass money

[janstolk]

that is a lot of work !
why not shut it down for a few days or is that not plausible ?

[benjaminmatte]

Why not put the valve in in the first place?

[VladVsevolod]

Вам просто воду на пол дня перекроют и сделают врезку😂😂😂 никто не будет заморачиваться
