Retrofit and repair cable protection pipe systems

Versatile split pipes for faster installations

For projects where standard cable ducting is not practical, our retrofit pipe systems offer a safeguarding solution while allowing cables to remain in place.

Our retrofit pipe systems cover a range of dimensions with adaptable designs that meet the needs of existing installations or repair applications.

DIVIO SPLIT PIPES

With options boasting compressive strengths of more than 1000N, our DIVIO split pipes are perfect for temporary, retrofit or repair applications that require high-pressure and impact resistance.

With no need for specialized equipment, the pipe halves are easily connected with color-coded clamps that identify the cable inside. Connections are sand-, gas- and watertight for additional protection and longevity.

DIVIO is perfect for section repairs as it is highly compatible with existing cable protection pipes — smooth or corrugated. It is available in ID 75, 110 and 160, enabling installation on the outside of 75, 110 or 160 mm ducts.

HDPE SPLIT PIPES

HDPE split pipes serve the same function as the DIVIO pipe system, but with a different sealing principle. Consisting of two half parts, they interlock through a horizontal sliding mechanism that negates the need for additional fittings or welding while also ensuring a sand-, gas- and watertight seal.

Benefit from retrofit cable protection systems

Discover how your project can benefit from robust, easy-to-use repair pipes.

Easier transport and installation

Both of our retrofit pipe options are lightweight for cheaper transportation and easier on-site handling.

Durable in all conditions

Thanks to their high-quality PE and PP constructions, our retrofit pipes ensure durability in challenging installations conditions with high impact resistance even in sub-zero temperatures.

Wide portfolio for various applications

Our retrofit pipes come in a range of mechanical strength classes — 450, 750 and 1000 N — so you can choose the ideal strength requirements for your specific application.

Frequently asked questions

1. What are retrofit cable protection pipes?

Retrofit cable protection pipes provide protection for cables that have already been installed. They are used in retrofit, repair or maintenance projects because their unique construction allows installers to fit the pipes around cables without having to disconnect or remove them.

2. What is the difference between a DIVIO split pipe and an HDPE split pipe cable protection system?

DIVIO pipes consist of two separate pipe halves connected by a hinge and are secured around cables using specially designed clamps that ensure a sand-, gas- and watertight seal.

Split pipes use an integrated interlocking sliding mechanism to create an equally secure seal without additional fittings.

3. Are Pipelife retrofit cable protection pipes compatible with existing duct systems?

Yes — both our DIVIO and HDPE split pipe systems are designed to connect easily to existing smooth or corrugated cable protection pipes.

4. Do retrofit cable protection pipes have to be installed in straight lines?

Not necessarily. While the pipes themselves are straight and rigid for optimal protection, their in-built connection points allow for an angle of up to 15° without the need for additional fittings. This allows relative installation flexibility while ensuring top-quality protection.

5. Is specialized equipment needed to install retrofit cable protection pipe systems?

No — Pipelife retrofit pipe systems are designed for quick and easy installation without specialized tools or welding equipment.

Our DIVIO pipes are connected and sealed using specially designed included clamps while HDPE split pipes utilize an in-built interlocking mechanism by sliding the two halves together along the horizontal axis.

6. How long do Pipelife retrofit cable protection pipes last?

Pipelife retrofit cable protection pipes are made from the highest quality raw materials and designed to last 50-100 years with minimal maintenance.

7. Where can I buy Pipelife retrofit cable protection pipes?
