| CONCRETE PIPE TAP |
|
 |
| While ICS® concrete chain
saws won’t cut round circles, they can easily make
8-sided cuts, providing quick, tight fitting joints for concrete
pipe taps. With proper technique, gaps of less than 1” (2.5
cm) are easily achievable, requiring very little patchwork.
The same job with a cut-off saw takes longer, results in
overcuts, and requires the use of potentially damaging percussive
tools to finish the work. |
|
1. Carefully score cut all 8 cuts
- 3 minutes. |
 |
| |
2. Plunge straight into all 8 sides
in a stitching method working from the center to
both ends of each cut
- 12 minutes.
|
 |
| |
3. The result: A pipe tap with less
than one inch gap installed, no over-cutting or cracking
from percussive tools
Note: Proper attention to layout and keeping the
bar perpendicular to the pipe are important for
tight joints.
Total elapsed time: 15 minutes. |
