Filoform Running Water Kit

Product overview

Filoform Filoseal Running Water Kit prevents running water getting into a building or enclosure. Often when faced with sealing a duct, this running water is still evident. Filoform Filoseal Running Water Block Kit provides the user with a method of preventing the water from ruining any permanent sealing system whilst installation is taking place. Filoform’s kit provides a method of damming the water flow, controlling it and stopping it and comes in two sizes, Small (282592) and Large Kit (282593).

Filoform Running Water Kit – Application

Remove the damming putty from the box, warm in the hands.

Meanwhile fit the tube, tap and pipe insert together, tap in open position.

Press the damming putty in the bottom of the duct to create a dam blocking the running water. This must be far enough down the duct to allow Filoseal+ to be fitted in front of it (80mm approx).

Press the pipe assembly into the damming putty ensuring the tap is clear of the duct front end and the back of the pipe is clear of the damming putty

Press more putty over the pipe onto the original damming putty.  This completes the water block

Ensure the duct in front of the dam is clean and dry

Fit the Filoseal+ in the normal manner in front of the water block dam

After the Filoseal+ has cured, (after approx. 8 days) turn the tap off.
