ABSTRACT:
An inexpensive method for quickly and safely sealing illicit taps in a pipe, such as for example a pipe through which a combustible material like oil or gasoline is flowing. The method first seals the valve outlet of the illicit tap with epoxy and removes the valve handle from the valve. Finally the entire tap including the valve and surrounding pipe area is wrapped with an epoxy impregnated material such as fiberglass or carbon composite fabric.
