Neofit®+Plus: Expandable Pressure Pipe for Potable Service Lines
Neofit®+Plus is a structural Expandable Pressure Pipe (EPP). EPP does not require the host pipe to maintain its pressure tested strength.
The NSF 61 approved Neofit®+Plus Expandable Pressure Pipe (EPP®) is a non-invasive, advanced pipe technology for leaking underground water services with inside diameters from 1⁄2" to 2". The Neofit EPP® forms a continuous barrier between existing pipe and drinking water – ideal for Lead Replacement Programs. It can be installed in steel, copper, plastic and lead pipes, and in lengths up to 300ft. The smooth bore and thin-wall pipe provides the same or increased flow capacity. Neofit+Plus often only requires a single small access pit, saving yards, sidewalks, floors, and more, from demolition. The speedy Neofit+Plus process allows for many installations a day and immediate return to service with only two-three hours installation time. This product has been installed in thousands of water service lines throughout the world. Save up to 85% by ditching the traditional dig-&-replace method and upgrading to Neofit+Plus.
Water Authorities and Ratepayers need every possible certified tool in their toolbox that will help them with the lead crisis in the US: Neofit+Plus EPP is that tool. The product is made to last and resistant to leaching; its structural material has been scientifically evaluated* for longevity of 100+ years. Neofit+Plus EPP can help water authorities balance affordability with the timing, phasing, and sequencing of infrastructure projects. We tested Neofit+Plus after it was installed inside of a lead service pipe by following AWWA’s field guide for hydrostatic testing of water service lines* and then testing the water for lead. The testing results showed 0% lead in the water.

what’s next? — Neofit+Plus Main Connection System
An upcoming addition to the Neofit system: Neofit+Plus Main Connection System allows the NSF 61 certified Neofit+Plus EPP to be installed in ½” to 1” ID water service lines from inside water mains 8” to 12” ID. This eliminates the need to dig up the water main in the street at each service connection. Only one access is required at each end of the water main pipe to allow the installation of Neofit at each connecting service pipe. Additionally, if trenchless lining methods, such as CIPP, are employed in the water main, the Main Connection System can be utilized to line the service pipes at each tap from inside the lined water main pipe.

A Flow-Liner® Certified Neofit+Plus Installer Success Story
A homeowner in Pittsburgh was dealing with a leaking 1-inch copper water service line stretching roughly 200 feet from the home to the municipal shutoff. The line ran down a steep wooded hillside, making excavation extremely difficult and potentially hazardous. In addition, part of the line passed beneath a newly installed heated concrete driveway, which the homeowner was determined not to disturb.Traditional dig-and-replace methods would have required major excavation, significant landscape disruption, and driveway demolition—costly, invasive, and time-consuming. Their plumber turned to a Flow-Liner® Certified Neofit+Plus Installer for a trenchless solution.
The Flow-Liner Certified Installer utilized the Neofit+Plus Expandable Pressure Pipe (EPP), a proven, minimally invasive method designed specifically for water service line rehabilitation.Using Neofit+Plus, the team successfully rehabilitated the full 200 feet of existing 1-inch copper service line, navigating approximately 25 feet of elevation change from the home to the street shutoff.Only one excavation pit was needed at the curb stop. Access at the interior shutoff provided the second access point—no trenching, no hillside excavation, and no disturbance to the driveway.
The Neofit+Plus rehabilitated water service was tested and returned to full operation the same day. The homeowner avoided major property damage, excavation costs, and lengthy downtime. The completed Neofit+Plus now provides a new, durable, seamless, NSF-61-approved internal pipe, designed for long-term performance. The homeowner was extremely pleased with the results—and with the fact that their newly installed heated driveway remained untouched.
