“We recently applied the Rapp-it bandage repair kit to a leaking 4-inch water main pipe. Upon return to service, no leakage was detected, and the water main line has remained in service — allowing us to long-term budget plan a replacement of this section instead of an unplanned budget cost and replacement.”
In the fast-paced, cost-sensitive construction industry, Rapp-it is ideal for emergency pipe repairs and can be applied to any size or type of pipe. It is a more convenient alternative to stocking joiners and spare parts that may never be used.
Over 94% of sugar mills in Australia use Rapp-it for emergency pipe repair. It is suitable for corrosive fluid and acid lines, and ideal for the phosphoric acid lines commonly involved in the sugar milling process.

“We had an overhead leak in a corroded line at 2am. This could have shut down our production and needed urgent repair. Applying Rapp-it meant we could keep our operations functional during the night, avoiding downtime, and replace the pipe at a later, more convenient time.”
Rapp-it is suitable for use on most substrates, including cement.

“The area affected is directly above the stage where hundreds of thousands of dollars in electronics, lighting and costumes are located; any water here would be disastrous for the production. Rapp-it has sealed the leaks so ‘the show can go on!’”
Rapp-it is suitable for use on corroded fluid lines, water reticulation pipelines and ball valves that are widely used in the paint manufacturing industry.
