Shrink Sleeves for Water Pipe

 Covalence Waterwrap: A Proven Solution for Large Diameter Water Pipelines


If you work with large diameter water pipelines, chances are you’re already familiar with Covalence® Waterwrap. Originally introduced under the Raychem name, later part of Seal For Life, and now within the Henkel family of products, Waterwrap has built a long-standing reputation in the water pipeline industry.

Waterwrap is widely recognized as one of the premier solutions for protecting girth welds on large diameter water lines. Coating these welds is often one of the more challenging aspects of pipeline construction—especially as pipe diameters increase. Consistency, reliability, and long-term performance are critical, and Waterwrap has been meeting those demands for decades.

One of the key advantages of Waterwrap is its availability in thicknesses robust enough to allow welding after backfill. This capability can be a major benefit on projects where construction sequencing or site constraints make traditional approaches more difficult.

In addition, Waterwrap is compatible with all major factory-applied coatings, including PE- and PP-based systems. That versatility makes it an easy fit into a wide range of pipeline specifications without requiring compromises or special transitions.

With a proven track record, broad coating compatibility, and features designed specifically for large diameter water pipelines, Covalence Waterwrap remains a product well worth considering—especially if you haven’t evaluated it recently.
