HOUSTON – Water infrastructure repairs and emergencies can be costly and time-consuming. When issues involving water pipelines and critical infrastructure arise, having access to the right pipe repair and water infrastructure solutions can make a significant difference. That is why we have expanded our Texas facility to warehouse Dresser Coupling & Repair products.
Customers can now address their water infrastructure repair, pipe joining and pipeline maintenance needs by sourcing select Dresser products locally. These products include the Ultra-Sleeve® Encapsulation Sleeve, Quick-Cam® Repair Clamp and TX3® Wide Range Transition Coupling.
By stocking these pipe repair and coupling solutions in Texas, we are helping local utilities, contractors and water professionals access products for maintenance and emergency repair applications.
Ultra-Sleeve® Encapsulation Sleeve
Designed for in-service pipe repair, the Ultra-Sleeve Encapsulation Sleeve can repair leaking bells, hubs, flanges, couplings and clamps without requiring the line to be shut down.
The Ultra-Sleeve features a patented wide-range design intended to reduce the need for multiple sleeves per nominal diameter. In sizes 2–12 inches, one sleeve can be used to repair leaking bell joints, collars or clamps on IPS, DIP, CIP, PVC, asbestos cement and HDPE SDR 17 and thicker pipe diameters.
The product’s two-piece end seal and top-facing bolts are designed to simplify installation while eliminating the need to tighten end-gland bolts.
For utilities and contractors managing water pipe repair and pipeline maintenance, the Ultra-Sleeve provides an option for addressing a range of in-service repair applications.
Quick-Cam® Repair Clamp
The Quick-Cam Repair Clamp is designed to save time, labor and inventory dollars in water and wastewater piping applications.
For water applications, Dresser offers the Quick-Cam in extended- and reduced-range versions, providing options based on the required pipe coverage. The Quick-Cam is available in nominal pipe sizes up to 54 inches, with an emergency repair kit also available for repairs on 14- to 54-inch nominal pipe sizes allowing flexibility on site.
Keeping this pipe repair clamp locally stocked gives Texas utilities and contractors access to another Dresser solution when pipeline repair needs arise.
TX3® Extended Range Transition Coupling
The TX3 Wide Range Transition Coupling is available in sizes from 2–24 inches and is designed for pipe-joining and cut out repair applications.
Its gasket incorporates a patented, fully removable and replaceable inner layer and is NSF 61/372 compliant. The TX3 also features a long-life coating, industry-standard 1-1/16-inch waterworks nuts, an integrated easy-lift handle, 4 degrees of deflection and a working pressure of 275 psi.
Long-body versions and flanged coupling adapter (FCA) are also available in sizes up to 12 inches.
For water infrastructure and pipe joining applications, having the TX3 available locally provides another option when a transition coupling is required.
