Connection area problem zone
Hat seals/Hutliner® to repair lateral connections

Connections are frequently not incorporated professionally into main pipes. Connectors intrude into the sewer and thus reduce the pipe cross section, or the connections have leaks and thus allow external water to penetrate the sewer network or vice versa, dirt and mixed water seeps out of the sewer into the ground. With hat seals/Hutliners®, these defects can be closed permanently. Hat seals are frequently placed into the main pipe in addition to the inliner lateral connections.

Hat seals/liners are assembled with a special device, the HutlinerPacker®. The HutlinerPacker® presses the hat, which has been saturated in synthetic resin, into the connection pipe opening. Once the resin has hardened, the HutlinerPacker® is removed. The hat closes the previously leaky connection and forms a permanent bond with the connector. The corresponding preliminary work such as cleaning, milling protruding edges and parallel video monitoring by an operator are required.

If a connector short liner is also to be placed in the connection area of the connection pipe in addition, the straight bubble allows the creation of a seal which goes deeper into the connection pipe in addition to the hat cuff. The straight bubble is suitable for connection pipes with a nominal width of DN 80 to DN 250.
