Abstract:
An in situ launch system for an underground gas main stop-off station includes: an outer launch tube having a distal lower end and a proximal upper end; a transition fitting having a proximal end fitted to the distal end of the outer launch tube with a gas tight seal, and a distal end; the distal end of the transition fitting having external threads having a first nominal dimension, and internal threads having a second nominal dimension; and a completion plug threaded into the internal threads of the transition fitting.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the proximal upper end of the outer launch tube comprises markings that identify an upstream and a downstream orientation of the underground gas main, the method further comprising:\n installing an inner launch tube into the outer launch tube; threading the inner launch tube into the transition fitting; installing into the inner launch tube a first inflation rod with a deflated first gas expansion bag disposed at a distal end thereof, and a second inflation rod with a deflated second gas expansion bag disposed at a distal end thereof; orienting the first and second inflation rods to align with the markings that identify the upstream and downstream orientation of the gas main; pushing the first and second inflation rods down the inner launch tube until the first and second gas expansion bags are disposed within the gas main, one of the gas expansion bags being disposed on the upstream side and the other gas expansion bag being disposed on the downstream side of the gas main; and inflating the first and second gas expansion bags via compressed gas being delivered through the respective first and second inflation rods.
