Hole Repairing

In case of accidental drilling it is possible to repair the pipe as follows:

1. Ensure that the hole to be repaired matches the dimensional
size of the hole mender. The Repairing Hole Tool comes in
7mm and 11mm, able to repair a hole of 6mm and 10mm.

2. Proceed with the normal fusion by heating the two parts for
5 seconds with an appropriate heating element. In relation
to the thickness of the pipe, position the Repairing Hole Tool
perpendicular to the pipe. The heating element must range
between 255°C and 265°C before jointing.

3. Insert the pre-heated Repairing Hole into the pre-heated
hole of the pipe. Remain in perpendicular position to the pipe
for a while for cooling purpose.

4. Wait until the cooling time is complete before cutting the
excess part.
