The SylWrap Universal Pipe Repair Kit can carry out a permanent live leak pipe repair quickly and easily and without the need for any training.
Because the SylWrap Universal Kit is effective even when water flow cannot be turned off, sites can avoid having to drain pipelines or tanks, helping to save thousands of pounds in costly and time-consuming shutdowns whilst repairs are undertaken.
Repairs can be made in under 30 minutes to pipes of all sizes made of steel, stainless steel, copper, malleable iron, GRP, ceramic, clay, concrete, rubber and most plastics.
SylWrap Universal Pipe Repair Kits are WRAS approved and so safe to use on drinking water. They resist pressure up to 30bar and temperatures in excess of 200ºC and can be used on pipes carrying hot and cold water and chemicals.
How to carry out a live leak pipe repair using a SylWrap Universal Pipe Repair Kit
SylWrap Universal Pipe Repair Kits contain Superfast Epoxy Putty, Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape and SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage. If water pressure can be turned off, then the Superfast Epoxy Putty is used to plug the hole. When hand-kneaded, the putty will turn uniform in colour and can then be pressed into and around the area of the pipe that is leaking.
If water flow cannot be isolated and a live leak pipe repair is required, Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape is instead used to seal the leak. Wrap & Seal Stretches by 300% and fuses into a solid rubber band when applied, fixing leaking pipes even where pressure remains. The Epoxy Putty can be used in conjunction with Pipe Burst Tape to remove step from joints.
The Wrap & Seal and Epoxy Putty are then overwrapped with the SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage. The Bandage is water-activated and is wrapped and smoothed over the pipe until it sets hard for a permanent repair.
For those who are likely to be regular users of the SylWrap Universal Pipe Repair Kit, please see the SylWrap Contractor Case which contains enough products to carry out several repairs and can be stored easily on a van for emergencies.
