Integrity Fusion Electrofusion Coupling - DIPS

53²¹

Electrofusion of HDPE by Integrity Fusion uses electrofusion fittings which have small copper wires imbedded within the interior of the fitting. Electric current is then run through those wires using an electrofusion processor (click our equipment page our industry-leading I Fuse 105 Electrofusion Processor) creating heat, and in turn melting the HDPE on the inside of the fitting and the outside of the pipe creating a homogenous bond and leak free joint.

Suitable for use on DIPS SDR 9 to SDR 17 HDPE Pipe

This must be installed by a qualified and experience technician

Repair Clamps & Couplings

Industrial repair clamps and couplings for all your supply needs

When searching for a pipe repair clamp for sale or any other underground utility supplies, look no further than Blair Supply Corp. We offer a vast selection of repair clamps, fittings, plugs and seals that can fit all kinds of pipe materials, including copper, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, cast iron, and more. We carry the right materials and tools for various piping issues, regardless of their scope and complexity.

How do you repair a pipe?

Plumbing systems are a critical component of any commercial and industrial construction. For this reason, any damage or deterioration of pipes should be mitigated sooner rather than later if facility shutdown or downtime is to be prevented. However, industrial pipelines are extremely complex, meaning that any repair or replacement work would typically require extensive knowledge and expertise.

In many cases, a temporary pipe repair is considered the most practical solution which minimizes downtime, expenses, and soil disturbance. Such procedures are typically performed using different types of fittings and clamps for water pipes depending on the type, size, and location of the damaged area.

What is a pipe repair clamp?

A repair clamp is an instrument designed to hold a pipe in place so that a corroded, damaged, or leaky patch can be repaired or a new pipe connection can be installed. When used in an industrial setting, pipe repair clamps can be applied while the pipeline is operational or non-operational depending on the specific situation.

At Blair Supply Corp, we offer a variety of repair clamps for sale that feature a wide range of tolerances and can be used in a great number of different industrial applications. Our selection includes full circle, Redi, bell joint, and stainless steel clamps from all brands such as Ford, Hymax, Smith & Blair, and more, including top-of-the-line water pipe repair clamps.

What are the different types of repair clamps?

Piping repair clamps come in various sizes and materials that can be used with various piping configurations. At Blair Supply Corp, we offer the following types of clamps for commercial applications:

Full circle repair clamps

The single band full circle repair clamps in our range are designed for quick and affordable repair of full circumferential holes, breaks, or cracks in steel, asbestos, copper, aluminum, cast iron and other kinds of piping materials. These clamps feature a built-in outside diameter range that allows them to fit different diameters within the existing size range.

Redi clamps

Our full circle Redi clamps are meant for swift and efficient repair of pipe splits, punctures, or pin holes. They feature an innovative design, superior sealing on pitted or rough areas thanks to their finely grided gasket, as well as a drop-in bolt feature in their lug design for faster, smoother installation.

Stainless steel full circle clamps

These repair clamps offer quick and durable repair for all kinds of pipes with diameters up to 12 inches. They are made from premium stainless steel grades and offer unrivaled corrosion resistance at a competitive price, making them the water pipe repair clamp of choice for individuals and businesses alike.

Bell joint clamps

This type of repair clamp is used for preventing and sealing pipe leaks using rubber ring or bell and spigot joints. Bell joint leak clamps can fit both rubber gasket and caulked joints on all types of ductile or cast iron pipes up to 36 inches.

What are pipe couplings?

A coupling is a short length of pipe or tube with a socket at one or both ends used for connecting pipes. If used to join two pipes of different sizes, they are referred to as reducing couplings or reducers. Couplings are used in various industrial and commercial applications, especially in cases when the damage or deterioration of the pipe is extensive and can’t be fixed with a repair clamp.

What are pipe couplings used for?

Essentially, a coupling is used to join two pipes together in order to replace a damaged section and maintain continuity of the piping system. Couplings are used in situations when pipe damage is severe and the procedure tends to require a line shutdown for application.

During the process, the pipe is cut on both sides of the affected area. The cut section is then replaced with a new pipe and joined with two couplings on either side. Using couplings in industrial pipe repair offers several advantages, including:

Accommodates ground movements and shifting;
Absorbs vibration and shock;
Allows for deflection;
Makes system maintenance easier;

In addition to our range of pipe repair clamps, we also carry a vast selection of couplings and fittings at our warehouses in Rochester, Watertown, and Avoca. Our offer includes products from Hymax, Frenco, and Smith & Blair, as well as Integrity Fusion electrofusion couplings, and numerous other types of couplings and clamps for water pipes.

Is a pipe clamp a permanent fix?

Up until recently, water pipe repair clamps were considered a temporary fix only. However, that’s no longer the case. Today, we have models such as wrap-around, stand-off, and full-circle clamps (to mention only a few), all designed for long-term durability and integrity. As such, a water pipe repair clamp represents the second-best option available, superseded only by a full pipe replacement.

How long will a pipe repair clamp last?

The lifespan of clamps for water pipes depends on a variety of factors, including:

Quality of materials used in manufacturing;
Environmental conditions and soil characteristics;
Type & quality of pipe material;
Quality of installation;
Maintenance quality and consistency.

Based on the above characteristics, as well as specific requirements of the project, a water repair clamp can last anywhere from:

Several weeks to several months, if it is intended as a temporary solution (typically when damage is extensive, necessitating comprehensive repairs or complete replacement);
Several years to several decades, if clamps for water pipes represent a feasible long-term solution (usually when damage is localized and/or pipe replacement is not a feasible option).
