Sprinkler Warehouse's PVC repair fittings make installation or repair of PVC pipelines faster, easier, and more cost-efficient. We offer quick-snap tees that allow you to repair small leaks in your pipe without digging out an entire section to replace an entire pipe section.
While it is possible to replace broken pieces over time, using sprinkler pipe repair fittings is much more efficient and cost effective. By repairing damaged pipes without replacing entire sections, you can save money on replacement parts, which are usually more expensive. Using fittings is also much faster installation compared to full pipe replacement. Plus, some fittings do not require cutting into or excavating pipes. All you need to do is attach them to certain areas around the damage, and you’re finished.
Pipe Repair Fitting FAQs
What are pipe repair fittings used for?
Pipe repair fittings are used to fix leaks, cracks, or breaks in pipes without replacing the entire section. Instead of a full-scale irrigation line repair, fittings can repair a damaged section of pipe without removing the entire pipe system. In the face of major damage, fittings can still be used to provide a quick solution to stop leaks until a more permanent fix can be implemented.
Do I need special tools to install pipe repair fittings?
It depends on the type of fitting. For example, compression fittings may require a wrench to fully secure them to the base pipe. Similarly, flexible couplings may require a wrench or socket set for tightening the hose clamps or bands. Nevertheless, before installing your sprinkler pipe repair fittings, you may need a cutting tool to prepare the pipe.
Can I reuse pipe repair fittings?
Whether you can reuse pipe repair fittings depends on the type of fitting. For example, compression fittings are usually reusable, though the gasket may need replacement after extended use. On the other hand, with flexible couplings, the clamps or bands used to secure them may lose tension or become deformed, requiring replacement.
