Dutch Finger Install Process for the Live Air ValveThe Dutch Finger is installed onto the defective valve in fluid tight arrangement. The defective valve is opened to allow manual insertion of plugging finger into the pipeline opening to a predetermined position. Manual operation of the tool contracts the finger to plug the opening and enlarges the finger inside the pipe, restraining it from movement. The defective valve, nipple and Dutch finger housing can be removed by lifting it up and over the tool. The new Air-valve, nipple and Dutch finger is set over the tool and installed onto the pipeline. The Dutch finger is relaxed and pulled into the pressure tight housing and the new Air-valve is closed completing the process.
