Pipe Repair products offer a fast, safe way to seal splits, holes, and corroded sections instantly – often under full system pressure – avoiding the need for expensive and time-consuming network shutdowns.
AquaShield – Unique Fittings for Barrier Pipe Connections
There has been a demand for barrier pipe and the connections required between pipework to protect water supplies for households and businesses from possible contamination.
However, up until now a key unsolved client issue has been that no independently certified solution for joining pipe systems from different manufacturers is available. And although connections can be made by electrofusion this often involves heavy and expensive equipment and trained operators. This is where AquaShield can help.

Brownfield Sites
Brownfield sites gained political significance after the UK government set a national target in February 1998 to ensure 60 per cent of all new housing developments were to be built on brownfield land.
This land had been previously developed for industrial or commercial purposes and may have also been contaminated owing to its prior use.
AquaShield Flange Adaptors are compatible to connect all barrier pipe brands stated in the data sheet. Below is an example of connection between PROTECTA-LINE, valve and PE pipe.
The AquaShield Solution
AquaShield is a non-permeable universal fitting, available as a coupling or a flange adaptor to be used on new installations and repairs to connect different barrier pipe systems reliably.
These fittings prevent contaminants entering water networks by sealing the barrier pipe from within while keeping the outer layer of the barrier pipe intact. It can also be used as a transition to a standard PE water network.
AquaShield is rated to 16 bar working pressure and has a unique gripping mechanism offering WIS 4-24-01 type-1 end load restraint which means the pipe will fail before the fitting.
