Pipe Materials Caveats
EasiTee – Universal
Caveat 1
Due to the characteristics of PE pipe, Viking Johnson does not recommend the use of repair clamps on this pipe material.
Caveat 2
EasiTee – Universal is not designed to accommodate / resist the loads from the under pressure drilling equipment, which needs to be supported externally during the operation to drill into the main. In addition, the valve and branch pipework needs to be adequately supported to ensure none of the dead / live loads are imposed in the branch outlet in the EasiTee – Universal.

A Truly Universal Tapping Solution
Under Pressure Tees with Flanged Outlets
The EasiTee – Universal for DN50–DN300 accommodates pipe outside diameter tolerances up to 26 mm, allowing a single fitting to suit most pipes of the same nominal bore. Its ability to incorporate a flanged outlet matching the host pipe size makes it a highly efficient and versatile stocking option.
Swing Over Bolt Mechanism
The fitting uses swing over bolts, a design that simplifies field installation by reducing the risk of losing components in the trench. This feature improves installation speed and reliability, especially in constrained or wet environments.
Permanent Sealing Performance
EasiTee – Universal delivers a permanent, leak-tight seal even on heavily corroded pipe surfaces. Their 100% circumferential EPDM ‘Waffle’ gasket accommodates both longitudinal and circumferential cracks. The WRAS-approved EPDM gasket supports 16 bar working pressure and 24 bar site test pressure.
Wide Tolerance Range
EasiTee – Universal covers multiple pipe materials of the same nominal bore. This reduces stockholding requirements and simplifies inventory management.
High Strength Construction
EasiTee – Universal uses ductile iron optimised through modern manufacturing to reduce raw material use. The design provides full-length pipe support, ensuring consistent sealing performance under all operating conditions.
Engineered for Ease of Installation While Under Pressure
EasiTee – Universal facilitates live mains tapping through the gate valve under pressure, in any weather which avoids any costly shutdowns. Installation requires no specialist tools just a torque wrench to verify correct bolt loading.
