REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS FOR PEXGOL PIPES

Small hole, up to 5 cm diameter:

1. Uncover the pipe, 2 meters along the pipe and 0.5 meter below the pipe.
2. Carefully clean the soil from the pipe and make sure no scratches extend beyond the repair area.
3. Use a repair fitting, supplied by Pexgol or use a branch-off saddle.

Notes:

• In case of vertical installation (dewatering line), the fitting must be protected by a fixpoint bridge.
• Careless excavation could damage Pexgol pipes.

Large hole requiring replacing a pipe section:

1. Uncover the pipe, 3 meters along the pipe and 0.5 meters below the pipe.
2. Cut out the section of the pipe with the hole and replace with a new section.
3. In most cases, the maximum length of the section to be replaced does not exceed 1 meter in length.
4. The new section will be connected by:
   1. Two electrofusion repair couplers
   2. Four Pexgol’s flanged couplings
   3. Two Plasson mechanical couplers (for pipes up to 160mm)

Notes:

• Only technicians trained by Pexol’s field service personnel are authorized to perform the repair.
• Stop water flow using common squeeze-off techniques.
• In case of a vertical installation (dewatering line), the pipe must be secured by a fixpoint bridge prior to cutting the pipe
