Easy PVC Pipe Repair
NDS Inc. enhances its popular Pro-Span Series of expansion
repair couplings with a smaller, more efficient and easy-to-install design.
Pro-Span makes it faster, safer and easier for contractors to repair PVC pipe.
With the body diameter drastically reduced, it can accommodate a variety of
repair challenges, including pipes that are side-by-side. In addition, Pro-Span
features a patented Grip-Lock system that allows the body of the repair
coupling to be used as a handle when gluing both ends to the broken pipe; the
user can turn the part that spreads the glue evenly, which is safer than
pushing the joints straight together.
