 Termination Sleeve to the Rescue! 

There are an estimated 1,180,000 miles of water main pipes located in the United States and 8,000 miles of water mains in Canada. With so many components to maintain on a service lateral, chances are that, at any given moment, any one of them is subjected to need replacement. When it's the corporation stop that becomes compromised or in need of replacement, a stainless-steel termination sleeve provides a quick, easy, and long-lasting solution. 

The corporation stop is considered the initial control valve of the service line without interrupting eh water main pressure. As a special stop valve that is installed into the water main, the corporation stop is usually used only once. However, it may be utilized again in the instance that water needs to be shut off deep below the ground for one reason or another. 

In the chances that the corporation stop becomes decommissioned, Cambridge Brass' TECKtm 8600 Series Two Piece Stainless-Steel Termination Sleeve is used to seal off and protect the corporation stop in direct tap applications. TECKtm termination sleeves feature chemically passivated welds, Teflon coated nuts & NBR gasket.
