Pretty easy to tell spam from discussion, especially if being critical about said discussion. Anyway, speaking of spam, we have a lot more this morning, and I'm no longer "authorized to create" the report flag. What happened?

Why not not simply cut out the split pipe and replace with new. The whole repair would take less time than this q&a process?
Sure, replacing the pipe is an idea. Assuming you have a way to support the structure while you cut out the existing section. So maybe not so cut-and-dry that it should be done without thinking about other ideas.

I use sleeves for bulkhead penetrators all the time. Contact Boney Forge. They make standard IPS sleeves. Schedule means nothing to your current OD. By the way, and there are no pipe sizes that "slip" over your IPS 2" pipe. Not with any remote fit tolerance.

Just cut standard 2 1/2'' schedule 40 or 80. That will fit perfect . Run a angle grinder in the split first, run a bead , and place 2 1/2'' pipe patch on. Use a cutoff wheel to split the 2 1/2'' and weld up.

Or grinder with cut off wheel.May not be a bad idea to cap top of pipe or put drain holes in so it doesn't happen again

The material measures to be 2" SCH 40
What had happened was that water crept into the top section of the tower, dripped down the inside of the leg and froze in the base of the tower leg. Once the water froze inside the base of the tower leg, the ice expanded and caused a 3" long crack in the area where the water was.
I do have some pics on my work computer but the hard drive quit Sunday. Always at the most unfortunate time.

I was wondering if there is something ' off the shelf ' that may work better and be something that I can just order.

Is this structural or for transfer,replacing sections or cracks?

If it's 2 '' schedule 40 , I would use 2 1/2'' pipe for the repair. Schedule 40 will work but 80 might be a tighter fit . Two inch slides inside 2 1/2'' nicely.
