With a pipe repairing kit, you can easily repair holes (max. 10 mm diameter) on the surface of the pipes. This system makes the repairing process easier especially for the pipes installed in places where are difficult to reach. You need only; a welding kit, a pipe repairing socket, a pipe repairing stick, and a drill with 6 mm or 10 mm tip.
1) Insert the repairing socket to the welding tool.
2) Adjust the pipe clip on the socket according to the wall thickness of the pipe to be repaired. It is adjusted by adding a tolerance of +0.1 mm to the wall thickness and moving the rings on the socket. The related data are given in the following table:

3) If the hole diameter on the pipe surface is equal to or smaller than 5 mm, expand it with a 6 mm tip, if it is equal to or smaller than 9 mm use a 10 mm tip.
4) Ensure that the welding tool is hot enough.
5) Insert the hole to be repaired to the male part of the socket to heat the plastic around the hole and insert the repairing stick to the female part of the socket to heat it. Adhere to the heating, welding and cooling periods for a good welding joint.

6) Increase the periods by 50% when the air temperature is below +5° C
7) Insert the pipe repairing stick without exceeding the pipe’s wall thickness.
8) Cut the remaining parts after the pipe repairing stick cools down.
9)
After an hour later, pipe should be subjected to a pressure
test with its normal operating pressure to see whether it
will leak. If the pressure test is successful, pipe repairing
is now completed.
