Expert Insights

The pipe diverter solves a very specific and common problem: dripping overhead pipes that cannot be immediately repaired. Unlike the flat ceiling diverters, this unit wraps around the pipe itself, catching water right at the source. This is especially valuable for condensation drips on chilled water lines, minor valve packing leaks, and pipe joint weeps. The included 14-inch straps attach directly to the pipe, eliminating the need for ceiling-mounted supports. For best results, position the diverter slightly below the leak point so water drips directly into the collection area. Connect the drain hose (ALDHOSES) and route it to a container or drain. This is a much better solution than placing buckets on the floor under dripping pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pipe Leak Diverter

How does the pipe leak diverter work?

Are leak diverters reusable?

Yes. Reusable and easy to clean. Made from durable PVC/vinyl for repeated industrial use.

What is the difference between a roof diverter and a pipe diverter?
