Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandages are suitable for use on all pipes and hoses at power stations, including water hydrants, due to Rapp-it’s potable water certifications.

SCOPE

The customer advised that they had a leak in one of their external hydrants. This was a problem as it was a Friday afternoon and they had no way of organising a plumber for a full repair until the next week. The hydrant could not be isolated without first isolating the entire external hydrant system.

SOLUTION

The customer reduced the pressure and cleaned and roughened the damaged area. First, the customer stemmed the leak with the Rapp-it Steel Putty and applied two Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandages (RAP304) over the top. The leak in the hydrant was repaired quickly, allowing the hydrant to go back into service before organising a replacement at a later date.
