Combined drilling and stopping system
A machine includes a tool housing defining a housing cavity; a first tool coupled to a first linear drive mechanism, the first tool linearly repositionable along an axis by the first linear drive mechanism about and between a first retracted position and an extended position, the first tool positioned within the housing cavity in the first retracted position, the first tool positioned external to the housing cavity in the extended position; and a second tool coupled to a second linear drive mechanism, the second tool linearly repositionable along the axis by the second linear drive mechanism about and between a second retracted position and a sealing position, the second tool positioned within the housing cavity in the second retracted position, the second tool positioned external to the housing cavity in the sealing position.
Mechanical branch outlet
A mechanical branch outlet includes: a housing defining: an outer surface; an inner surface; and an outlet bore extending between the outer surface and the inner surface; an insert defining: a wall; an axis; a rim extending radially outward from the wall with respect to the axis, the rim being a flange; a first end extending from the rim in a first axial direction aligned with the axis; and a second end extending from the rim in a second axial direction opposite from the first axial direction; the first end received fully within the outlet bore of the housing; the outlet bore of the housing configured to slidably receive the second end and retain the first end, an outer diameter of the rim being greater than an outer diameter of the second end.

COUPLING ASSEMBLY FOR BRANCHING PIPE
The present invention relates to a coupling assembly for branching a pipe, and more specifically to a coupling assembly for branching a pipe, which can reduce assembly man-hours, has a simplified configuration, thus enabling a reduction in construction costs, and can effectively prevent the leakage of branched fluid even when the diameter of a branch hole formed in an inlet pipe is increased in order to increase a flow rate inside a branch pipe for supplying fluid to a sprinkler.
