– Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria and other
substances that may be toxic, infectious, cause
burns or other issues.
• Mix resin and wet out patch in a well-ventilated
area. This reduces the risk of irritation or reactions from
resin fumes.
• Do not leave mixed resin in container. Chemical
reactions during curing generate heat. If kept in the
container, that heat could damage the container and
cause burns. Empty all mixed resin onto patch and
spread out. Excess resin can be left to dry on the
protective table covering.
• Do not inflate the packer outside of an appropri-
ately sized pipe. Do not inflate the packer without
packer sleeve/patch/appropriate containment on the
packer per these instructions. This will reduce the
risk of the equipment bursting and causing serious
damage or injury.
• Do not over-pressurize the equipment. This will
reduce the risk of the equipment bursting and causing
serious damage or injury.
• Use proper equipment and patch combinations.
Improper combinations can result in an incomplete
patch which increases the risk of leaks, equipment
damage and injury.
• Practice good hygiene. Do not eat or smoke while
handling or operating the equipment or material.
After handling or operating equipment, use hot,
soapy water to wash hands and other body parts
exposed to chemicals or drain contents. This will
help reduce the risk of health hazards due to exposure
to toxic material.
• Do not use if there is the risk of contact with other
utilities (such as natural gas or electric) during
operation. Crossbores, improperly placed utilities
and damaged drains could allow the equipment to
contact and damage the utility. This could cause

electrical shock, gas leaks, fire, explosion or other

Description

The RIDGID Pipe Patching System is a trenchless pipe
®
repair and relining system. The system repairs cracks,
holes, joint separation and other damage in a variety of
pipe types, such as clay, concrete, cast iron or PVC.
The system uses a cylinderical fiberglass patch wet out
with silicate resin. The patch is mounted on the inflatable
installation tool (the "packer") and placed at the point of
repair by pushrod or ropes. The packer is inflated to press
the patch inside the repair point. When the resin is hard-
ened, it creates a seal in the damaged area.
