Howto Seal Live Pipeline Leaks

PipeWrap Demonstration Using UPS SEAL-FLEX TAPE & EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE

Video Overview

This practical demonstration showcases the PipeWrap system in action for sealing offline (non-pressurised) pipe leaks. The video details the application of UPS STICK GRADE METAL, a high-strength, hand-applied epoxy, followed by reinforcement with the UPS EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE.

This fast, cost-effective pipe repair method is ideal for maintenance shutdowns, isolated pipe sections, or pre-commissioning refurbishment—restoring pipeline integrity without welding, hot work, or extended downtime.
