Lateral Connection Collars (Top Hat)
Lateral Connection Collars (Top Hat)
Repair by means of cured-in-place lateral connection collars (also referred to as top hat profiles) is defined in DIN EN 15885 [EN15885:2011] as “repair of a connection between lateral and main pipe by installing a cured in place collar”.
They are mainly used to create a tight between liner and lateral connection. Their field of application extends to non-accessible sewers DN 100 to DN 800 with lateral connections DN 100 to DN 250.
Top hats are made of a composite consisting of a reinforced or nonreinforced fabric carrier material (glass fibres (E-CR glass), polymeric fibres (polyester needle felt) impregnated with thermosetting resin (UP, EP or silicate, VE), which may include optional internal and/or external membranes.
Function of top hats:
- Closure of the annular gap
- Repair of the lateral connection depending on the extension into lateral pipe (see next page)
- Possibility of connecting a lateral CIPP liner.
