Process for Coating the Interior Surface of Non-Metallic Pipes with Metal Valves and Metal Fittings

A method for reducing the effects of corrosion including leaching of metals from inside surfaces of non-metallic water service pipes with at least one metal fitting that are exposed to drinking water passing through the non-metallic water pipes, comprising the steps of:

• providing non-metallic water pipes with at least one metal fitting for supplying drinking water;
• cleaning interior surfaces of the drinking water pipes with the at least one metal fitting;
• coating the interior surfaces of the non-metallic pipes and the at least one metal fitting with a barrier leak sealant, wherein the interior surfaces of the pipes and the at least one metal fittings, are lined and sealed “in place” (in-situ) while minimizing need for opening up walls, floors, ceilings, or grounds;
• and
• curing the coated water pipes.
