A deformed thermoplastic liner is drawn through a cut host pipe and split
sleeve halves attached to it and then reformed to its cylindrical
configuration using pressurized steam. The split sleeve halves are
removed, and an adapter flange is fused onto a cut end of the liner
portion. The split sleeves halves are then re-attached with the adapter
flange between bolted flanges of the split sleeve halves and a section
welded to the adjacent host pipe to provide a permanent pressure sealed
connection. The lined host pipe can also be connected to a lateral pipe
using a lateral extension fused to the rerounded liner and a third split
sleeve half with a lateral pipe extension that receives the lateral
extension and is attached to the lateral pipe, either directly, or
through a second split sleeve.
