Description
The Mazco Safe-T-Stopper is an engineered and patented stopping tool that enables safe, gas-free service tee abandonment or renewal on natural gas distribution systems. It mounts over the service tee and creates a sealed working environment by attaching a ball valve and using specialized adapters to remove the cap or plug, then stopping the gas with a rubber or self-tapping plug. This approach lets technicians isolate and cut or replace tees without releasing gas into the atmosphere, improving worker safety and reducing environmental impact.
Designed in response to industry safety standards and regulatory changes, the Safe-T-Stopper works on a wide range of tees that lack internal stopping mechanisms, helping utilities and contractors avoid costly line-stop procedures while enhancing productivity and lowering restoration costs.
Pressure ratings and configurations vary with tee type and procedure, and Mazco offers a comprehensive range of adapters and parts to fit different applications.
