Abstract:
An apparatus for sealing a leak from a tubular member has a channel member with at least one open end, a sealing member positioned in an interior of the channel member and having a channel extending therethrough, and a compression assembly having a portion extending through the channel of the sealing member. The compression assembly also has a rotatable element extending outwardly of the channel of the sealing member. The rotatable element is rotatable so as to compress or deform the sealing material within the interior of the channel member so as to seal the leak. A tape material is wrapped over the channel member so as to fix a position of the channel member over the leak.
