Abstract: A repair assembly and method for repairing a damaged portion of a pipe. The repair assembly includes a launcher having a positioning member with a first end and a second end. The launcher further includes a first member secured at or near the first end of the positioning member and a second member combined with the positioning member between its first end and its second end. A bladder assembly and a liner assembly are secured to the launcher between the first member and the second member. The second member may include an opening adapted to receive the positioning member so that the second member is slidable along the length of the positioning member to adjust the distance between the first member and the second member and help accommodate different lengths of bladders and liners. The second member may also include an inlet/outlet opening adapted to be connected to a hose for pressurizing or deflating the bladder with air or any other suitable fluid.
