REPAIR SOLUTIONS FOR BROKEN PIPE

Expansion Repair Couplings

To repair PVC pipe, you can choose this socket by socket coupling that contains an EPDM Double O-Ring Seal. 

Each end fits over iron pipe size PVC pipe.  This product is NSF certified for Potable Water Use.  This style of expansion repair coupling is available from Drainage Solutions, Inc. in ½” up to 6” in size.

Another option for PVC pipe repair is this socket by spigot coupling, which is also available through our stores in ½” – 6” sizes. 

This coupling also contains an EPDM Double O-Ring Seal. One end fits into a PVC Schedule 40 fitting, and the other end fits over iron pipe size PVC pipe. Pressure ratings vary according to size.

BOTH STYLES OF EXPANSION REPAIR COUPLINGS CAN BE FOUND HERE: EXPANSION REPAIR COUPLINGS

Knock-On Couplings

Knock-on PVC Repair Couplings for IPS pipe are a gasket by gasket solution.

They feature a unique design that allows for travel in both directions, making it as easy to slide the coupling back onto the existing pipe as it was to slide it onto the repair section.

They’re available from Drainage Solutions, Inc. in 1 ½” to 8” sizes.
