Leak Repair

Retro Fitting/Leak Repair

	For restoration projects or factors such as hairline cracks, cold joints and honeycombs Elite products shows the “patent pending” multifunctional use of the P120 X-Plug™ by sealing a leak from the exterior during a leak test. The following images (opposite page) show a project where the tie void had been missed when plugging, allowing for water to escape the tank.

	Seal a leak by using the P120 X-Plug™ in a fraction of the time compared to alternative methods (i.e. She Bolts, non-mechanical plugs) where expensive injections or coatings may have to be utilized.

	With its compression seal the P120 X-Plug™ provides a positive seal whether installed from the interior or exterior making it the most versatile, highest performing plug system on the market today. In some instances for a repair, a void may need to be predrilled to install plug from exterior. Use the conversion chart below for appropriate drill bit sizing.

Preparation/Installation

(Pictured) The 1 to 11/4 taper tie void is drilled out with an 11/8 bit to prepare it for the repair. Remove any large debris from the drilled hole and install a P120 X-Plug™ (Model P1201114) into the prepared hole. The P120 X-Plug™ is installed in the same manner as from the interior side. Shown here installed manually. (Refer to the P120 X-Plug™ Retro-Fit Chart).
