Anyone can apply a repair wrap, such as FiberFix, on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and several types of metal pipe. At Lowe’s, we offer wraps and patches that work with a range of pipe types and come in a range of sizes.
Most pipe wraps function as temporary repairs, helping you stop many types of leaks and minimize damage until a professional plumber can make a permanent repair. Some pipe repair wrap can also help you make quick, temporary repairs to gutters and drains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you wrap a leaking pipe?
A: Pipe wrap tape typically can stop small leaks temporarily until a plumber can make a full repair. Some pipe repair wrap is self-fusing. That means you simply stretch it while wrapping it tightly around the break in the pipe. Other tape works with water-activated resin. It hardens around the leak after you wrap the pipe, and you can even paint it after it cures for a better appearance. Some pipe wrap tape applies over epoxy putty to provide additional protection. Most products require you to turn off the water supply before making the repair.
Q: Does Pipe Wrap Tape Stop Leaks?
A: Pipe wrap tape generally works to stop small leaks, providing a temporary fix. If you use it either by itself or in conjunction with epoxy putty, leaking-pipe wrap makes a watertight seal to stop leaks.
