Fernco Inc FPW248CS Pipe Repair Wrap 2x48 Fiberglass 600 Psi

Product Description

The FERNCO INC FPW248CS is a water-activated fiberglass pipe repair wrap designed for fast, field-ready repairs on damaged or leaking pipe sections. Measuring 2 inches wide by 48 inches long, this wrap sets to a rigid, steel-like hardness and delivers up to 600 psi of compressive strength once fully cured. Cure time is approximately 30 minutes, making it suitable for time-sensitive repairs across a wide range of pipe materials. No tools are required for application, and the wrap bonds to pipe diameters up to 1 inch. It carries EPZ approval and meets ANSI/NSF 61 certification for contact with potable water systems.

This wrap is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a quick, durable pipe repair is needed without full pipe replacement. Typical scenarios include pinhole leaks, hairline cracks, and minor pipe damage on supply lines, drain lines, or irrigation piping. The water-activated cure mechanism means the wrap is activated on-site with no mixing, no adhesives, and no specialty tools, making it practical for plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working in tight or remote locations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified maintenance technicians. Shut off water flow and relieve line pressure before applying the wrap to ensure proper adhesion and a complete seal. Wet the wrap to activate the fiberglass resin, then apply with consistent tension around the repair area per the manufacturer instructions. Allow the full 30-minute cure time before restoring pressure to the line.
