Secure and Reliable: Link-Seal® Modular Seals

Efficient and reliable sealing solutions play a crucial role in the success of any mechanical project involving pipe penetrations. Whether it's a water treatment facility, a commercial building, or an industrial plant, ensuring that pipes passing through walls, floors, or ceilings properly seal against water, gas, and contaminants is essential. Link-Seal® modular seals have emerged as a premier choice for mechanical contractors and engineers seeking dependable sealing solutions that save time and reduce costs.

Link-Seal® modular seals offer a flexible and robust method for sealing the annular space between pipes and walls or casings. Comprising interlocking rubber links and pressure plates, these seals create a hydrostatic seal that can withstand significant pressure from water, gas, and other substances. The design accommodates various pipe sizes and materials, making it a versatile option for multiple applications.

Mechanical contractors appreciate the ease of installation that Link-Seal® modular seals provide. The modular design allows for quick assembly around the pipe, eliminating the need for cumbersome and time-consuming methods like hand-packing with sealants or welding. By tightening the bolts on the pressure plates, the rubber links expand to fill the gap between the pipe and the wall opening, creating a tight and secure seal. This efficient installation process reduces labor costs and minimizes downtime on the job site.

Engineers value the reliability and durability that Link-Seal® modular seals bring to their projects. The seals handle pipe movement caused by thermal expansion, vibration, and settlement without compromising their integrity. This flexibility ensures long-term performance and reduces maintenance requirements. Additionally, the seals are resistant to various chemicals and environmental conditions, making them suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.

The applications of Link-Seal® modular seals extend across numerous industries. Plumbing and HVAC systems prevent leaks and protect against water damage by sealing pipes that penetrate building envelopes. In fire protection systems, they help maintain the integrity of fire-rated walls by sealing around pipes and conduits, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. Wastewater treatment plants utilize them to prevent infiltration and exfiltration in piping systems, ensuring environmental compliance and system efficiency.

Choosing Link-Seal® modular seals contributes to overall project success by enhancing safety, reducing costs, and improving system performance. Their adaptability means they can be customized to fit virtually any pipe size and type, including steel, ductile iron, PVC, and concrete pipes. This versatility simplifies inventory management for contractors and ensures that the right sealing solution is always available when needed.
