A hermetically sealing device has a sealing main-body and a rubber seal adhered to the sealing main-body. The rubber seal includes an inner lip, a slit and an outer lip. The inner lip extends along a periphery of the bored opening, and includes an outer-circumference surface that extends forward and inclines toward an inner-circumference side. The slit is formed on an outer-circumference side relative to the inner lip. An outer-surface-side edge of the bored opening enters the slit. The outer lip is formed on an outer-circumference side relative to the slit that is formed on an outer-circumference side relative to the inner lip, and transforms in such a manner that the outer lip extends toward an outer-circumference side to be hermetically in contact with an outer surface of the periphery of the bored opening.

Methods of sealing tubulars are disclosed herein, which methods may include: providing a patch plug assembly that includes: a shaft; a wedge coupled to the shaft; a slip coupled to the shaft; a plug slidably coupled to the wedge; and a ferrule disposed between the wedge and the plug; pushing the slip against the tubular; pushing the plug against the ferrule after the slip is pushed against the tubular; pushing the ferrule against the wedge after the plug is pushed against the ferrule; and pushing a plug portion of the plug against an inner surface of the tubular.

A snap fitting for use in plumbing is provided. The snap fitting includes a main body formed of plastic and shaped to extend partially around a cylindrical pipe to snap over the pipe and an inset for extending from an interior side of the main body into a hole in the cylindrical pipe.

A system (10) for reinforcing a pipeline (90) or pressure vessel includes a dispenser (12), a quantity of fabric (14), and a resin (16). The dispenser (12) has a first end (39), a second end (32), and a slot (46) formed in a wall (48), and is pressurizable via a fluid input (74) to a pressurized state. The dispenser (12) has a seal (56) configured to permit the quantity of fabric (14) to pass through the slot (46) and retain pressure within the dispenser (12). The dispenser (12) is configured to dispense the quantity of fabric (14) through the slot (46). The quantity of fabric (14) has a first width (24).

In some implementations, an apparatus comprises a pipe, a stud that is forge-welded to the pipe, creating a forge-welded stud, a bracket that is operably coupled to the forge-welded stud, and a walkway operably coupled to the bracket.

A modular enclosure system and method for repair of one or more leaks in a pipe. The modular enclosure system including a first enclosure portion configured to be disposed in a mated configuration to create a first enclosure around the pipe. Each enclosure includes a first void section configured to enclose a pipe section of the pipe. Sealant grooves extend along enclosure faces of each enclosure to seal the modular enclosure system. Each enclosure includes a sealant control system having a plurality of blocking members and configured to selectively block sealant injected in the sealant grooves. Each of the blocking members are positionable between a blocking position configured to block sealant flow in at least one of the sealant grooves and a non-blocking position.

A seal clamp, such as for gas lines, includes a handle assembly having a handle, a transfer or drive assembly cooperable with the handle, and a clamping assembly including first and second claws or clamps and a seal member. The first and second claws or clamps are cooperable with the transfer assembly. The seal member is structured to seal a puncture in a gas line. Responsive to movement of the handle, the first and second claws or clamps move from an OPEN position to a CLOSED position, such as to engage a pipe and create a clamping force which forces the seal member into engagement with the pipe, such as a puncture, to seal the pipe.

Fluid leak repair kits are described comprising a putty, self-amalgamating tape, and a composite material for use in encompassing the self-amalgamating tape. The composite material comprises a flexible sheet or tape and a matrix component for binding the flexible sheet or tape. The matrix component comprises a resin or water-activated matrix component which, when cured, forms an outer shell.
