Abstract
The repair device secures to an irrigation conduit to seal any failures of the irrigation conduit. A patch body of the present invention is constructed from a plastic film, such as 15 mil polypropylene. The user installs a contact side of the patch body adjacent the irrigation conduit. A seal on the contact side of the repair device is located along the edges of the repair body. The seal encompasses the rupture. Fasteners located on the fastening edges of the patch body secure the repair body around the rupture. The seal and patch body compress the irrigation conduit to seal the failure in the conduit.
