1 - Drilling Tapping Machines
In 1871, Hieronymus Mueller, founder of the Mueller Co., invented and patented the first machine for drilling, tapping
and inserting corporation stops in mains under pressure.
This invention revolutionized the method of making main to service connections under pressure and also established
what has proven to be the most successful principle for machines of this type. This has been proven by the fact that
Mueller machines are the accepted standard by most water companies, plumbers, and plumbing contractors.
Mueller Co. has taken the original tapping machine features and refined, expanded and incorporated them into
additional machines for other conditions and purposes. Mueller Co. offers the most complete line of time proven
drilling and tapping machines available.

*When drilling or tapping above 1" by hand, use extension handle shown on page 1.8
**When power operating the machine to drill and tap 1-1/2" and larger, only combined shell cutters and taps should be used - see page 1.5 (B-101) or 1.13 (A-3)

NOTE: To insert corporation stops larger than 1", use the MUELLER A-3 ™ machine shown on page 1.11

MACHINE - INSERTING & EXTRACTING TOOLS
Rev. 11-18 Shaded area indicates changes
Most Mueller Inserting Tools are available with an E-Z Release feature. This feature allows the drilling and tapping machine to
disengage the corporation stop without backing the corporation stop out of the main. E-Z Release Inserting Tools consist of two
parts (a shank and a nut) which are joined by a coarse acme thread. When the machine disengages the corporation stop, the
two parts of the inserting tool separate at the acme thread. The part of the inserting tool left attached to the corporation stop is
easily removed once the tapping machine is removed from the main.
