1.6. Suitability and materials used
1.6.1. Properties of the pipe to be repaired
QuickLock can be used to repair all common types of pipe:

Vitrified clay pipes

Concrete pipes

Plastic pipes (see section 2.6.5)

Glass-reinforced plastic pipes

Cast iron pipes

Steel pipes
QuickLock is only suitable with restrictions in the following cases:

Pipes with bends and fittings

Pipes with damage near the building connections (sockets, branches)

Pipes with joint misalignments of more than 2.5 cm (0.98”)
In such cases, please contact us.
1.6.2. 316L Stainless Steel
The QuickLock sleeve is made of 316L stainless steel of grade 1.4404. This grade of stainless steel is
characterized by its high corrosion resistance.

Quick-Lock is designed for use in municipal wastewater systems.

For use with industrial wastewater or where the wastewater contains high levels of chloride salts,
the required corrosion resistance must be ascertained.

316L stainless steel of grade 1.4404 may be used up to a chloride concentration of 600 mg/l.
1.6.3. EPDM Rubber
Like the steel sleeve, the thermoset polymer EPDM gasket is designed for municipal wastewater systems.
EPDM is characterized by its excellent physical properties and its resistance to aging, ozone, weathering
and environmental effects, alkalis, and various chemicals.
EPDM is unsuitable, or only suitable with restrictions for:

Solvents

Ethers, esters, ketones, methylene chloride

Animal and vegetable fats, oils, fuels

Concentrated fruit juice, oxidizing acids
Special version for oils, greases and hydrocarbons
An NBR rubber gasket is available on request for use with oils, greases, and hydrocarbons. (NBR: nitrile
butadiene rubber)
Special version for potable water.
A special NSF61 certified rubber gasket is required for potable water installations. Available on request.
1.6.4. Industrial Use
QuickLock is also suitable, with certain restrictions, for industrial use, depending on the properties of the
fluids.
Note: Before using QuickLock in industrial, non-municipal wastewater systems, the corrosion resistance
of the 316L stainless steel and the EPDM gasket must be verified.
