Loctite PC 5070 Pipe Repair Kit

The Loctite PC 5070 Pipe Repair Kit (formerly Loctite 5070) is a kit for fast temporary repairs to metal, plastic and composite pipes. It pairs a urethane-impregnated fibreglass tape with a stick of Loctite EA 3463 steel-filled epoxy putty that plugs holes and cracks before you wrap. Repairs are done on site in minutes with no special tools or training, and the line is typically back in service within an hour. This is the 50 mm × 1.8 m kit.

With the pressure off and the pipe dry, rough up and clean the area, press the kneaded putty into the leak, then wet the tape and wrap at least four firm layers over and past the damage; it gives 3 to 4 minutes of working time and cures in about 30 minutes at 25°C. It is a temporary fix only, not for caustic or hazardous lines, and not approved for direct contact with drinking water. Consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
