DIMENSIONS:

LINK-PIPE® PVC Sleeves are available in diameters ranging from 36" (900mm) to 108" (2800mm) with standard lengths of 18" (450mm), 24" (600mm) and 36" (900mm)

LINK-PIPE® PVC Sleeve in standard form:  

  • PVC core:  Manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride, LINK-PIPE® PVC Repair Sleeves usually consist of six segments. The edges are designed to lock each segment in place.

LINK-PIPE® PVC sleeve core material conforms to "PVC 12454-B" material properties:
Tensile strength @ 73° F (23°C) ASTM, D 638 7000 psi
Compressive strength @ 73° F (23°C) ASTM, D 695 9000 psi
Flexural strength as per @ 73°F (23°F) ASTM, D 790  12000 psi
Water absorption in 24 hrs @ 73° F (23°C) ASTM, D 570 0.05%
Modulus of Elasticity in Tension @ 73° F (23°C) ASTM, D 638 4.2x10^5 psi

  • Grouts: Polyurethane grout is used to fill annular space between the sleeve and host pipe when the repaired pipe is required to retain flexibility. Grout G-200 is used for structural repair and grout G-101 is used for or sealing infiltration.

NOTE: Cement grout offers an economic alternative when joint flexibility is not required  

  • O-rings: The O-ring materials such as neoprene natural rubber, viton may be specified to suit a wide range of chemical environments.

STRENGTH:
 LINK-PIPE® Wall thickness of the sleeve is selected to meet structural requirements specified by the customer. A minimum design load of 10-psi is recommended. If higher working load calls for increased wall thickness.

Service Life:
PVC material used in making LINK-PIPE® PVC Sleeves has been used in pressure main construction for 50 years without any sign of chemical or structural breakdown. From this record and laboratory tests for chemical resistance a minimum 100-year service life for these sleeves is anticipated.

QUALITY CONTROL:

Manufacturing follows ISO 9001-2000 certified Quality Control procedures. 

Written Quality Control standards required for installation are contained in each sleeve shipping container. (See Step #6 Installation Tips)
