How to effectively connect and seal a lateral sewer pipe to a main sewer, which has been lined with CIPP or folded plastic liners. The LMT™ (Lined Main Tap) makes connecting directly to the mainline lining as easy as a SNAP.
The lateral pipe is cut, and the old main pipe is broken away exposing the mainline liner. By connecting directly to the main liner, a hermetic seal is made to the lateral pipe.
The lateral opening in the main liner is prepared by
removing any high spots making a suitable surface for
the attachment of the LMT™ saddle.
Next, the underwater curing 2-part hybrid adhesive is
applied to the saddle by use of a twin cartridge caulking
gun. This proprietary adhesive bonds the LMT™
saddle to the new main liner and provides a flexible seal.
The LMT™ Saddle is snapped onto the Lined Main
Pipe providing a new Lateral Tap. The saddle covers
more than 180-degrees of the main liner forming a
structural new connection.
The lateral pipe is connected to the new pipe extending
from the LMT™ using Non-Shear Couplings. The end
result is a structural new Lateral Tap that does not
protrude into the main pipe, is compatible with all pipe
types and connects the lateral pipe directly to the main
liner ensuring a long-term effective Main/Lateral Seal.
