Replacement

Figure 3-1
If a pipeline system provided with external coupler leaks,
a piece of at least W(m) must be replaced (0.5xW on both
sides of the leak). Cut a section of the pipe to a length
equal to W and examine the ends of the still installed
pipe. One possible way to reconnect the system is to
use mechanical couplers such as Straub coupling
(preferred system), Dresser and others.
