Shrinkable Repair Tape

Description

Uponor Shrinkable Tape is designed to repair minor damage to the corrugated HDPE outer jacket of Ecoflex® pre-insulated pipe. Trim all sharp edges from damaged area using a sharp razor knife.

To seal the repair, apply gentle flame with continuous movement to the outside of the installed repair tape. Backfill trench by hand over repair taking care not to damage the repair.
