NO-BLO® Line Stopping System

The Mueller® NO-BLO Line Stopping System is the preferred system for a range of installation, repair, and maintenance
operations on pressurized pipelines.
The system has versatility to suit your specific needs: high or low pressure systems; bypass, double or single stops; line
extensions and branch connections; and large or small lines and flow capacities. Whatever your application, Mueller has
the tools and parts to get the job done efficiently and safely.

High Pressure, Two-Piece Fitting

Up to 500psig/34barg/3450 kPa
With Mueller equipment, a section of pipe is cut inside a two-piece fitting, forming a machined
cylinder. An expandable steel wedge stopper with a resilient urethane covering is locked in
place. The forged steel fitting (some available rated at 1440psig/100barg/10,000kPa provides full
reinforcement of the pipe in the area of the cut and retains the full pressure rating of the line.

Low Pressure, One-Piece Fitting

For lines up to 100psig/7barg/690kPa,
Mueller offers a simple one-piece fitting that
requires just a drilling machine to cut the
pipe, insert and lock a solid rubber stopper
in place, then insert the completion plug
into the stopper fitting to finish the job. This
system requires cutting through only one
side of the pipe. Single stop-offs and double
stop-offs using a temporary bypass can be

The Mueller® DBS System is a portable system of tools that allows you to safely replace gas meters and perform a variety
of other procedures, all without shutting off gas service.
The Mueller NO-BLO® Valve Changer provides a safe, effective and easy to use means for stopping gas flow upstream
of the meter valve allowing the valve to be replaced. The Mueller Valve Changer – a Mueller NO-BLO System exclusive
– includes plugging units and safety clamps. It can be used on most straightway and round way meter valves in sizes
ranging from ½” to 2” (DN15 to DN50), if the valve has an FIP outlet and the port through the valve will permit the passage
of the Valve Changer’s plugging unit.

Cast Iron Tapping Machines

The Mueller® B-101 and A-3 drilling and tapping machines are the industry standard for drilling and tapping cast iron,
ductile iron, and steel gas mains from 2” to 48” (DN50 to DN1200) in size. Both can drill and tap holes up to 2½”/DN65.
The B-101 will drill and tap cast iron and steel Gas mains from 2” to 48” (DN50 to DN1200) and the A-3 can drill and tap
gas mains from 4” to 48” (DN100 to DN1200). The NO-BLO® System allows for the removal of a coupon from the main for
inspection, and insertion of a threaded plug, also while maintaining full control over the flow. Both can be power-operated
or manually-operated.

NO-BLO Service Stop Tees

Mueller NO-BLO Service Stop Tees are used to make a main to service connection. These Service Stop Tees have a
mechanism that can be used to shut off the flow of gas in the service line. The mechanism makes a metal-to-metal seat
in both the fully open and fully closed position to assure positive sealing. This mechanism has differential threads which
develop powerful seating forces.
