FerncoPow-R Wrap Plumbing Pipe Leak Repair 4-in. x 252-in.

I had a somewhat similar repair, or more like an improvement to make, on a sewer line that exits the foundation on an older home. Here a 4" metal pipe was incorrectly mated to a PVC pipe using nothing but a short PVC plastic coupling and the top of this coupling was cracked (but in all it wasn't leaking yet). I didn't want to disturb the line with fear of something else going wrong as it usually happens when jumping into tasks like these and in short, I found this product and it worked well.I completely wrapped the joint with this fiberglass wrap with a fairly wide overlap on each side. It dried hard after about an hour and it avoided a potential time consuming repair. From the looks of it afterwards, I consider it a nice permanent fix until I suppose that metal 4" drain eventually corrodes which at that time the whole line can be replaced during a remodel or such.As I found on a similar review, my advice is to throw away the provided gloves in the package and get a pair of rubber dish gloves instead as it's a sticky-sticky mess and durable gloves are needed. The directions are pretty clear, but be sure to add water in the packet and work/squeeze the tape well (in the package) before using, and lastly, keep the wrap tight and pull it snug during the installation. Hope this helps.

I had a minor leak in a drain line and by using this as advertised it sealed it. A plumber would have cost several hundred dollars.

Package was opened. No Instructions. Would not harden. It all ended up in the trash.

My dike had sprung a leak, and I had just used my last Dutch child to stop a leak in my favorite snow-globe. This thing is like a whole passel of small-fingered Dutch children, and stopped my leaks in under a half hour.Unlike Dutch children, there is a little bit of prep work, and you need to use (the included) latex gloves, as you don't want to get any of that stuff on you. The Femco, not the children.

Covered a dollar size hole in 3 inch cast iron pipe, holds for now until a full replacement can be scheduled. Per the instructions there should be a putty and a gloves included, neither was in the package. Was mainly looking to patch an edge but ended overlapping more around the joint. It was enough to cover a palm size hole. What made it difficult is that the section with a hole was a Y with a clean out. If you have just a straight pipe it’ll be so much easier to wrap. Solidified in about 45 min. After 30 min it was so sticky it ripped latex gloves.

I was able to use this to stop a small leak coming from a lead bend pipe in my bathroom ceiling. Because of the location it would have been costly to replace. This product stopped the leak. Great product

Works exactly what its for. We used this on a American Skier wet exhaust that had two holes punched in it from screws. The repair hole was small, and this more than covered it. Can be done alone, but it is best to do this repair with a second person. So far it is holding up well.Compared to what they say this will do, our repair should be easy. Its only wet some of the time, and pressure is low on it. Survived the first season with it on it.

I really like this kit. It is a two-step process. There is a putty-like epoxy that you knead into a mix then spread on the crack and a fibreglass-like cloth you wrap over the patched pipe.First, it really works. The putty goes on easily and sticks well. The wrapping cloth is really sticky so it installs easily.Second, they give you a lot of it. I had a cracked 4 inch sewer pipe and there was enough cloth to wrap the pipe 15-20 times so it's a strong patch.I tried a couple less expensive products that didn't work at all, so this was a real life saver. In the future I won't buy anything else.
