EPIPE

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


ePIPE is an epoxy lined pipe and process that creates a barrier coating on the inside of the pipe. It has the capability to rehabilitate pressurized pipes including potable water, fire sprinklers and natural gas lines ranging in diameter from 3/8 of an inch to six inches.

[edit] The ePIPE Process

Pipes are restored in-place i.e. right in the walls or ceilings without dismantling the whole piping system or having to tear up walls or floors. ePIPE rehabilitation provides a barrier coating protecting the pipe from internal corrosion, repairs pinhole leaks and prevents the leaching of heavy metals into the water supply, such as copper and lead.
