  • Patent number: 7717137
    Abstract: A device and method for internally repairing pipes. The device consists of a reusable, elastomeric shell configurable for two, three, and four-pipe junctions. The design of the device aids in positioning the expandable shell over and helps seal off the leak area inside a pipe. Once inflated into proper position, a sealant is injected into the leak area. Not only does the sealant eventually seal and fortify inside the pipe it also forms a seal around the outside of the pipe. Once the sealant has cured, the device is deflated and removed from the pipe. Minimal pipe preparations are necessary before implementing a repair. The device can also be temperature modulated to enhance sealant cure.
