2.6.5. Repairing plastic pipes
Plastic pipes (PVC) can be repaired by using QuickLock in accordance with the single and serial offset
methods. However, the following issues are to be observed:
In many cases, a given diameter for a plastic pipe does not refer to its ID, but rather to its OD.
Please verify proper sleeve size and pipe diameter before installing a sleeve.
In plastic pipes, pipe deformations are common, which might restrict equipment passage.
If the equipment and the sleeve can be properly positioned at the damaged spot with the packer,
then the sleeve will adjust to the pipe deformation and stabilizes or restores the pipe’s structural
strength.
If there are any questions about pipe sizes and/or QuickLoc
k’s capability, please contact us
PRIOR to trying to install a questionable sleeve size. It is advisable to measure the exact pipe
diameter before installing a sleeve. We offer intermediate sleeve sizes in addition to the nominal
pipe diameter sleeves.
Circular perforated drain pipes can also be repaired with QuickLock, while maintaining their
seepage capability. We can offer support and advice for this installation.
Example
This example shows a perforated pipe before and after repair.
