Packers are essential equipment for no-dig patch repair – used for positioning the patch and holding it during curing.
Pipe Doctor packers are available for purchase or hire from S1E.
Standard Circular Packer
Packers are used in conjunction with Pipe Doctor patch repair kits. The patch is wrapped around the packer which is then positioned at the point of repair and inflated to press the patch against the damaged pipe. Once the patch has cured, the packer is deflated and removed to be used again. Each packer covers a small range of pipe sizes. The Pipe Doctor standard range covers pipes from DN35-DN400.
Multi-size Circular Packer Range
Available in both straight and radius, these new range of packers help you repair more diameter range with a single packer. The Straight Multi Size Packers can achieve up to 5 different diameters, while the Radius Multi Size Packers can achieve up to 3 different diameters. For more information on multi-size packers, contact the Sales Team sales@s1e.co.uk or call 01226 397 015.
Wheeled Circular Packer
Wheeled packers are available for larger sizes and are more manoeuvrable than Standard Packers, with wheels fitted at both ends of the packer. All wheeled packers within this range have an annular (flow-through) construction to allow water to flow down the centre of the packer when in use. This allows the main pipe to remain in operation during patch installation.
Suitable for pipe diameters ranging from 100mm to 600mm, bespoke and larger sizes are also available on request.
Radius Circular Packer
Radius Packers must be used for the repair of bends. Radius packers are normally only used for radius repairs, but certain situations may dictate the use of a radius packer in straight pipes, e.g. restricted access, negotiating bends before the straight pipe etc.
Radius packers are available in three sizes:DN100, DN150, DN 225 pipes.
Packer Starter Kit
Items stocked by S1E can be purchased individually or in bundles in one of our Packer Starter Kits.

Includes, DN100-DN150 x 1.5m packer, 30m inflation hose, hand pump, pressure regulator with check gauge and pressure check gauge.
Pillow Packer
The pillow packer is a fold-flat, oblong packer for the repair of pipes from 750mm diameter to 2000mm and above. It is lighter in weight than equivalent-sized circular packers and is easier to manoeuvre and install. It can be used to repair ovoid pipes or to connect two pipes of different diameter.
Available in four sizes:300-600mm, 600-1000mm, 1000-1400mm and 1200-1800mm. Can be manufactured to bespoke sizes.
Stoppers
Stoppers are used for blanking off a pipe for air testing, water testing or flow stopping for a repair. Wide expansion range so will work in all types of pipe. Stoppers have a lightweight feel, so most sizes can be installed by one man and made for maximum durability with reinforced synthetic rubber.
Special sizes available on request and available in Nitrile for Hydrocarbon applications.
