InsituFlex™ Installation
1. Excavations are required for installation and to replace any existing fittings.
2. The PE pipe selected for the project is welded into one full length.
3. The welded pipe is pushed through the roller reduction machine (see picture on left), resulting in a diameter reduction of up to 20% of the original pipe OD.
4. The liner is inserted into the host pipe.
5. Once the liner is in place, it is allowed to revert to its original diameter. To speed the process, the liner can be pressurized with cold water.
6. The liner is cut to the required length and all end and intermediate connections are installed using standard fused or mechanical fittings.
7. The completed line is pressure tested, disinfected and returned to service. Access points are backfilled and reinstated.
