Description
The SylWrap Pipe Repair Kit enables the user to permanently fix a burst or leaking pipe in under 30 minutes, even when water pressure cannot be turned off.
Repairs can be made to pipes of any diameter made from copper, PVC plastics, steel, stainless steel, malleable iron, GRP, ceramic, clay, concrete, lead, and rubber.
SylWrap Pipe Repair Kits are used in both domestic settings and for large-scale pipe repair in industry. All products have WRAS approval meaning they can be used safely on pipes carrying drinking water.
The Kit is pressure resistant up to 30 bar, temperature resistant to 200ºC and it can be used on pipes carrying hot and cold water and chemicals.
To identify the Kit most suitable for your repair, please use the options above to tell us whether you can turn the water pressure off and the diameter of the leaking pipe. We can then recommend which of our SylWrap Pipe Repair Kits is best for your application.
How to fix a leaking pipe with a SylWrap Pipe Repair Kit
Each Pipe Repair Kit comes with a material for sealing the leak and a SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage for protecting and reinforcing the repair.
For applications where water pressure can be turned off, the leak is sealed using Superfast Epoxy Putty. To use a Superfast Stick, you take the required amount of putty, mix it by hand and then press it into and around the crack or hole in the pipe, where it will harden as it cures to seal the
For live leaks, Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape is used for sealing. The waterproof tape stretches by 300% and is made from self-fusing silicone. As it is wrapped over pipework, it fuses into a solid rubber band which provides a pressure resistant repair.
When making a high-pressure industrial repair, further Wrap & Seal may be required to build up pressure resistance. If you are undertaking such an application, then please go to the Repair Calculator tab and enter information about your repair to determine the number of tapes needed. Additional Wrap & Seal can be purchased separately.
SylWrap HD Pipe Repair Bandage is a fibreglass repair wrap with a water-activated resin. It is dipped in water and then wrapped over the Superfast Epoxy or Wrap & Seal Tape where it and set rock-hard, providing an impact resistant layer for a permanent repair.
For regular pipe repair users, we have developed the SylWrap Contractor Case containing enough products for up to six pipe repairs. The Case is easy to store either on the van or on site and works out at a cheaper cost-per-repair than buying individual Pipe Repair Kits.
SylWrap Contractor Cases are used by several of the United Kingdom’s water companies for the ease and speed in which they enable emergency live leak pipe repairs to be carried out.
