For contractors and trenchless professionals who specialize in CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) repair, the need for tools that are adaptable, efficient, and cost-effective has never been greater. That’s exactly where the Versa-Patch system from American Pipelining Solutions (APS) delivers. Designed with input from industry professionals and built to address the most common job site challenges, Versa-Patch is a complete pipe patching solution that reduces time, waste, and cost while increasing performance and ease of use.
A Smarter Approach to Pipe Patching
Versa-Patch is not just another pipe patch kit. It is a system designed to work with 2”, 3”, 3”–4”, and 4”–6” pipe diameters and comes in multiple patch lengths (32”, 3’, and 6’), providing flexible options for a variety of repair scenarios. The system uses durable, reusable packers made of silicone-coated rubber that are compatible with a range of pipe configurations including:
- Bends
- Transitions
- Straight sections
With pre-measured, ASTM-compliant fiberglass patches and resin materials included, the kits allow contractors to focus more on the repair and less on prep and sourcing.
Where traditional patch kits require multiple disposable packers or job-specific tools, the Versa-Patch simplifies inventory and deployment. One packer can cover multiple applications, and when paired with APS’s starter kits, the setup is designed for rapid deployment and minimal downtime.
Built for the Trenchless Professional
APS designed Versa-Patch specifically for the trenchless pipe rehabilitation market, which continues to grow due to its cost-efficiency and reduced disruption. For localized pipe damage, patches offer a less invasive and more affordable solution than full-length liners or pipe replacement.
Key Features:
- Reusable, adjustable system
- Lockable hexagonal fittings that prevent disconnects under pressure
- Elastic bands for repositioning if adjustments are needed
- Fewer wasted materials
- Better placement accuracy
Fast Setup, Faster Results
The Versa-Patch system is engineered for efficiency at every step. The pre-measured materials and clear instructions mean less time spent on preparation and more time executing repairs. This efficiency translates directly to improved profitability and higher customer satisfaction.
