ABSTRACT:
A leverage insertion assembly for inserting and removing an element from a main pipeline in which a fluid is flowing. The leverage device includes a hollow positioning pipe connected to the main pipeline with a gate valve attached to the positioning pipe. Formed on the outer surface of the section of positioning pipe on the opposite side of the gate valve from the main pipeline is a spiral cut-out. Handles attached at one end to the element located inside the positioning pipe extend through the spiral cut-out. During operation, the element is moved longitudinally inside the positioning pipe when the element is rotated by turning the handles. As the handles are turned, the cut-out limits the longitudinal movement of the element inside the positioning pipe. When the element has been moved a sufficient distance inside the positioning pipe to clear gate valve, the gate valve may be closed thereby closing the positioning pipe. The element can then be removed from the positioning pipe.
