Wraparound Couplings (VWRC)

Wraparound couplings for in situ pipe repair

VIPSeal wraparound couplings provide a practical repair solution for large diameter pipes where the damaged section cannot be removed.

The coupling wraps around the existing pipe and seals over the damaged area. As a result, installers can repair isolated fractures, voids or localised pipe damage without cutting out the full pipe section.

This makes VWRC wraparound couplings useful for confined spaces, difficult access areas and repair projects where full pipe replacement would add time, cost or disruption.

When to use VIPSeal wraparound couplings

VIPSeal wraparound couplings are suitable for low and non-pressurised pipe repair applications.

They can help create a watertight seal over damaged sections of pipe, especially where access is limited or the pipe needs to remain in position during the repair.

Because each application can vary, VWRC wraparound couplings are made to order. Therefore, it is important to provide accurate pipe outside diameter details when enquiring.

Applications

• Repairs isolated pipe damage, including fractures or voids in the pipe wall
• Creates a watertight seal over the damaged area of the pipe
• Suitable for large diameter pipes that cannot be removed
• Useful for confined spaces and difficult access repair areas

Made to order for site-specific repairs

VIPSeal manufactures each VWRC wraparound coupling to suit the repair requirement.

The size table shown on this page gives guidance for pricing and product selection. However, final product details will depend on the pipe outside diameter, site conditions and repair area.

For support with product selection, sizing or material options, please contact the VIPSeal sales team for technical guidance.

Also available with nitrile sleeves (add ‘N’ to the product code when enquiring or placing an order).

All VWRC wraparound couplings are supplied with 304 stainless steel tension bands as standard.

For higher corrosion risk, contaminated ground or marine environments, the couplings can also be supplied with 316 stainless steel tension bands. Add “A” to the product code when enquiring or placing an order.
