When pipes in plumbing and heating systems fail, SylWrap Pipe Repair kits restore service quickly and easily by allowing any user to make a rapid live leak repair.
Speed is often crucial when it comes to plumbing and heating repairs, especially in colder seasons. Shutting down systems whilst waiting for a specialist contractor to carry out a repair or replacement can leave homes and properties without heating or running water for a prolonged period of time.
Rather than suffering such interruptions to supplies, a SylWrap Pipe Repair Kit makes permanent repairs with temperature resistance to 200ºC and pressure resistance to 30bar in under 30 minutes without the need for any formal training.
Water flow does not need to be isolated, avoiding the need to turn off pressure to make a repair. SylWrap Pipe Repair Kits have WRAS approval meaning they are certified to British standards as safe to use on pipes supplying drinking water.
Repairs can be made to all types of domestic plumbing pipes, including those with insulation lagging. SylWrap is also used by maintenance contractors for large-scale applications, such as the repair and maintenance of district heating systems and in central heating pipes supplying public building and facilities.
Maintenance companies responsible for significant property portfolios are using the SylWrap Pipe Repair Contractor Case for an even quicker response for the repair of leaking plumbing and heating systems.
Each Case contains enough products to make up to six live leak repairs on pipes of all diameters and types. The Case is easy-to-store either on-site or on the van, meaning that the contractor has everything to hand to make a repair as soon as a leak is identified.
