£10.69 – £53.42 inc. Vat

Waterproof pipe repair record made from self-fusing silicone which stretches past 300% its length to seal highly pressurised alive leaks

Description

Wrap & Seal Piping Flare-up Record is a waterproof pipe repair record made from cocky-fusing silicone which seals alive leaks on pipes made from copper, PVC plastic, steel, malleable iron, and many other materials.

The record stretches by three times its length and one time practical, it fuses to course a solid rubber band which exerts maximum pressure over the pigsty or cleft in the piping. Using multiple tapes creates a repair which is pressure resistant up to 30bar and Wrap & Seal is temperature resistant up to 200°C.

Wrap & Seal is suitable for fixing leaks in applications ranging from small domestic plumbing problems through to big scale industrial pipe repairs. Because information technology is constructive on live leaks, using Wrap & Seal avoids costly and confusing shutdowns of systems.

The versatility of the product makes it suitable for wrapping car exhausts, hoses and other types of pipes. Wrap & Seal is WRAS approved, meaning that it tin exist used safely with drinking water.

Wrap & Seal tin also be used as an electrical insulation tape. For more than details, please go to the Electrical Repair Tab.

Wrap & Seal Pipe Burst Tape details – how to repair a leaking pipage with waterproof tape

Wrap & Seal is easy to employ and depending on the size and pressure of the pipe, repairs tin be carried out in under 15 minutes by just following the instructions provided.

The repair begins by anchoring the waterproof record adjacent to the leak expanse. Using the centre line as a guide, you stretch the record to its maximum and wrap it around the pipe until it runs out. The unique tapered profile of Wrap & Seal stops h2o from tracking underneath the tape, completely sealing the leak.

1 Wrap & Seal Tape will typically hold 5bar pressure. Further pressure resistance can be built up past using additional tapes. If you are undertaking a high force per unit area repair, then please use the Repair Calculator tab to determine the number of tapes required for your repair.

Repairs made with Wrap & Seal should exist reinforced past applying a SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage over the Pipe Burst Tape. The Cast offers a rock hard, bear on resistant layer of protection which turns the repair permanent.

Both Wrap & Seal and SylWrap Bandages are bachelor in the Universal Pipe Repair Kit which contains all the equipment needed for fixing live leaks in an emergency. For a kit that allows for multiple pipe repairs to be carried out, so please run across the Contractor Case.

Repair Calculator

The beneath calculator can be used to make up one's mind how many rolls of Wrap & Seal are required for a live leak repair up to a specified pressure level resistance.

Enter water pressure, the diameter of the pipe in millimetres and the length of the crack. For pinhole leaks, leave the repair length field blank.

One time you take entered your data, selecting the size of a Wrap & Seal Tape will evidence you the quantity of that specific tape required to complete the repair.

Calculations serve as a guide to potential maximum force per unit area resistance only. Actual pressure resistance depends upon pipe textile, condition, hole size, leak blazon and tension maintained during wrapping. If you lot are unsure, then more than i Wrap & Seal tin can be used to stop the leak.

Electric Repair

Wrap & Seal can also exist used in electric applications for insulation and repairing damaged cables.

Information technology offers a superior alternative to traditional agglutinative electric tapes because information technology fuses with itself and turns into a solid rubber ring. This makes Wrap & Seal platonic for wrapping damaged wires, insulating terminal blocks, sealing around cablevision glands and wrapping and sealing junction blocks.

Only a minor stretch and one layer of Wrap & Seal are necessary when carrying out an electric repair, meaning that ane roll can be used for multiple repairs.

When sealing junction boxes confronting wet, information technology is recommended that the crenel is starting time filled with Pack & Seal non-setting insulation putty outset, before beingness wrapped with Wrap & Seal.

Applications

Wrapping damaged cables
Insulating terminal blocks
Sealing around cable glands
Wrapping & sealing junction boxes

Benefits

Unlike other electrical tapes, Wrap & Seal self fuses
Simply a pocket-sized amount of tape is required per repair
Quick and easy to use
