Driven into a pre-drilled 14 mm hole with a hammer — the flexible plastic lamellae compress and grip the borehole wall, providing a pressure-tight seal without mechanical tightening. Available with or without integrated non-return check valve.

The Lamella Impact Packer 14mm is a one-piece plastic injection packer that is driven into a pre-drilled 14 mm hole with a hammer rather than tightened with a spanner. A series of flexible barbed lamellae run along the body of the packer; when the packer is driven into the drill hole, these lamellae compress against the borehole wall and grip the substrate, creating a pressure-tight seal in a single installation step.
It is the fastest packer to install in this family — there are no threaded body parts to tighten, no separate adhesive to cure, and no waiting time before injection can begin.
The 14 mm size is the general-purpose workhorse of the lamella packer range, suited to standard concrete and masonry crack-injection work. For larger drill diameters and veil/curtain injection through gel pipes, see the Lamella Impact Packer 18mm.
The packer is available in two variants:
Mark the injection points along the crack at the spacing recommended by the resin manufacturer (typically 100–250 mm depending on crack width and substrate thickness).
Drill 14 mm holes at a 30–45° angle across the crack, to a depth of at least 80 mm (i.e., most of the packer length sits inside the substrate).
Vacuum or blow out the drill holes with compressed air to remove all dust. A clean borehole is essential for the lamellae to grip the substrate.
Insert the packer by hand up to the first lamella.
Drive the packer home with an impact aid (a soft-faced punch that fits the packer head) and a hammer. The packer should sit flush with the substrate surface.
Connect the injection gun or pump to the packer’s nipple thread. If you are using the open variant, ensure the gun-side check valve is fitted.
Inject the resin at the pressure specified by the resin manufacturer until you see resin returning from the adjacent packer.
Disconnect the gun — on the check-valve variant, the valve closes automatically and traps the resin inside. On the open variant, close the gun-side valve.
Allow the resin to cure as specified on the resin data sheet.
Cut the packer flush with a knife or grinder once curing is complete. The empty drill hole is then patched with mortar or epoxy filler.
