pipe passing through proposed concrete wall
pipe passing through proposed concrete wall
(OP)
I am designing a wall around existing pipe through which liquid passes at 200degrees fahrenheit. What precautions should I take for laying concrete. Should I install any sleeves?






RE: pipe passing through proposed concrete wall
The obvious answer is to have a sleeve that provides a gap between the pipe and the concrete. That 200 degree pipe is going to want to move, so why lock it in? Plus any concrete poured directly against a pipe at 200 degrees is going to be pretty bad.

I couldn't find the sizing chart on that web site linked below, but a little searching on the web should get you one. The sleeve will need to be about 1 1/2 inches bigger all around than the pipe, but use the sizing chart.
As a caution, due to its flexibility, the link seal does not provide a support point. You can't count on a support at the wall.

Have you considered re-routing the pipe?
