SylWrap Pipe Repair products and straightforward to use, as this selection of demonstrative and instructional videos filmed either on-site or in the Sylmasta Laboratory show.

No formal training is required to fix a burst or leaking pipe, simply follow the instructions provided – or watch one of these videos – to make a permanent pipe repair even when pressure cannot be isolated.

SylWrap solutions are effective on pipes of all materials and sizes and most of the products have WRAS approval, meaning that they have been certified to British standards as safe to use with drinking water.

Repairs made using a SylWrap Pipe Repair Kit are pressure resistant to 30bar, temperature resistant to 200ºC and have high chemical resistance. Kits can be used in both domestic plumbing applications and large-scale industrial pipeline repair.

Live leak repair on a 6″ elbow joint

A pinhole live leak repair carried out on a 6″ elbow joint at a pumping station in Malaysia.

Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape is used to seal the leak and then overwrapped with a SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage. The bandage is water activated and sets rock hard for an impact resistant layer.

These products are available as part of the Universal Pipe Repair Kit (single repair) and the Pipe Repair Contractor Case (multiple repairs).

High pressured live leak repair on a steel pipe

A live leak demonstration at a water utility company’s depot carried out as part of the Sylmasta Pipe Repair Roadshow 2020.

The highly pressurised leak was sealed using Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape and overwrapped with a Pipe Repair Bandage.

As a result of this demo, the water company in question approved the use of SylWrap Contractor Cases on their vans, enabling their contractors to permanently fix live leaks as soon as problems are identified.

Emergency repair of a pressurised leak (part one)

Two videos from the Sylmasta laboratory demonstrating how to carry out an emergency live leak pipe repair even when pressure cannot be turned off.

The repair in question was to a 3mm pinhole on a 4″ 316L stainless steel pipe.

Part one shows the application of Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape being stretched to the required amount and self-fusing to seal the leak.

Emergency repair of a pressurised leak (part two)

Part two of the stainless steel pipe repair demonstration shows the application of the SylWrap Bandage over the initial pipe repair.

The bandage is water activated and sets in 30 minutes, providing a rock-hard, impact resistant layer over the Wrap & Seal. This ensures the repair is permanent.

The products involved in these two videos are available in the Universal Pipe Repair Kit (single repair) and the Pipe Repair Contractor Case (multiple repairs).

These two products are available as part of the Standard Pipe Repair Kit for fixing leaking pipes where water flow can be isolated.
