Abstract: Damage to buried plastic pipe systems usually requires repair by replacement, regardless of the amount of damage. Replacement procedures utilize mechanical fittings or heat fusion in place. Sometimes a dog leg must be added to permit these procedures. A full encirclement band clamp could be used as a permanent repair when there is only limited damage to plastic pipe. This clamp would be cheaper and easier to apply than mechanical fittings or heat fusion, In our Wisconsin Gas Company distribution area, we know from past experience that stainless steel band clamps can be used and meet corrosion resistance requirements.
