The Ridgid 74698 Pipe Patch Kit (3 in. x 32 in.) enables quick and efficient trenchless pipe repairs with all required consumables and components packaged together for one-time use. This kit makes inventory management easier for the user while ensuring that everything needed to get the job done is included. This kit is designed for pipes three inches in size and covers a maximum repair length of 32 inches.

The durable fiberglass liner meets ASTM F1216 requirements and is rated for small sections of damaged pipe. The cured patches have a life expectancy range of up to 50 years under normal conditions.

The two-part silicate resin mixture comes in the form of the 'Part A' waterglass activator and hardener and the 'Part B' base resin. Forming the resin involves the simple process of mixing the 'Part A' bottle into the 'Part B' bottle and shaking it in order to begin the wet out and curing processes. The work time of the mixture goes up to 15 minutes while the cure time of this mixture extends up to 90 minutes at a temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

The patch tape and elastic bands adhere the packer sleeve to the packer while preventing it from being dislodged during transport through the pipe. The elastic bands do not break during inflation which allows for the user to deflate and adjust the location of the packer if needed.

The table covering and packer sleeves work to protect the environment of the workspace. These materials also protect the packer from resin or environmental hazards such as scale or other debris. When compared to the methods of digging or full relining, this kit offers a less invasive and disruptive method of pipe repair work.
