The PipeSeal forms a water-tight mechanical seal
between the pipe and the hole through which it passes.

Easy as One, Two, Three

1. Wrap the belt around the pipe. Then con- 2. Slide the assembly into the space between
nect the first and last links. The proper the pipe and wall.
size and number of links can be found
in the catalog.

3. Gradually and sequentially tighten the bolts. Tighten each bolt 2-3 turns
making 5 to 9 passes completely around the pipe. Do not cross tighten. The
PipeSeal links expand to create a gas and water tight seal.

See Page 9 for detailed installation instructions.

The PipeSeal from Flexicraft is the fast and economical way to seal piping and conduit in wall
and floor penetrations. Whether using the water seal or the fire stop seal, the benefits are clear.
Quick Installation
The PipeSeal installs in minutes compared to the other alternatives

Long Life
Designed as a permanent seal, it resists sunlight, ozone, water, and a range of chemicals.

Pressure Rated
The PipeSeal can withstand 20 psi of pressure.

Vibration and Shock Protection


Transfer of vibration and shock in a pipeline is greatly reduced by the rubber seal.

Versatile
Three types of elastomers and a choice of plated carbon steel or 316 stainless steel hardware are provided for
the water seals.

And the UL classified F2HR Fire Seal fire stop device, shown in the included submittals for various configuration
systems, provides additional benefits.

2 Hour Fire Rating


Matched with the type of installation, the F2HR provides up to 2 hours of protection with an intumescent seal.

Verifiable Seal
The seal is easy to identify for inspectors, who can verify that the stop is in place at a glance.

No Curing Time or Waste


There is no 10-14 days of curing time required, as with caulks. Again unlike caulk, there is no wasted material
with the F2HR PipeSeal.

PipeSeals come in a variety of model sizes. Choosing the right model and number of links for your penetration is
covered in the following pages.

PipeSeal in a Penetration

For most applications the appropriate PipeSeal can be selected from the charts on the subse-
quent pages. If your pipe and wall opening dimensions do not appear on these charts, use the
methods in the calculations shown later, or go to the Flexicraft web site and use the sizing cal-
culator.

Specifically:

1. Find the chart that applies to your pipe material. Next locate your pipe size on the chart.

2. Determine your wall opening. Select either a wall sleeve or a core drilled hole, depending on
which you plan to use.

3. Find your “Nominal Pipe Size”, and read across to determine the appropriate PipeSeal model
and number of links required.

4. Select the PipeSeal Type from the table below.

5. Order as follows for an example of a PS-475 size, 10 links, Type ES: PS475ES10.

PIPESEAL - WATERSEAL
PipeSeal forms a mechanical rubber seal between pipes going through walls, floors, vaults, tanks, and pipeline casings. PipeSeal makes a
watertight seal between a pipe and a wall hole. It can also seal the gap between an inner pipe and an outer pipe sleeve or pipeline casing. It
seals the gap between electrical conduit and the outer conduit, or between electrical conduit and the wall hole it passes through.

PipeSeal is designed to make a hydrostatic seal of up to 20 psig and up to 40 feet of head. The PipeSeal, in addition to it’s sealing proper-
ties, helps absorb vibrations, shocks, and sound waves. It also insulates the inner pipe from all other outer structures, including outer pipe
sleeves, pipeline casings, walls and tanks.

PipeSeals are made from synthetic rubber with heavy-duty plastic or steel pressure plates, which are resistant to sunlight and ozone. All bolts
and nuts are plated with an anti-corrosive coating. 316 Stainless steel bolts and nuts are also available.
