The new No Drain-T connector is first installed in a suitable location on an existing fire sprinkler main. 
On completion of a successful test, the pressure is reduced in line with the working pressure of the existing system, and the LIVETAP ® drill is connected to the No Drain-T 50 mm valve. 
The pipe work is filled and a pressure test undertaken, the pressure is the released from the system.
The LIVETAP ® drill is fed through the No Drain-T by means of operating a simple hand operated ratchet drive, which feeds the drill into the existing fire main in a matter of minutes. The drill is now withdrawn, metal coupon removed by means of special Drill Magnet Application.
