Sava 526623 12"-21" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

From a selection standpoint, confirm that the plug's nominal pipe size range of 12" to 21" matches the pipe section where blocking or isolation is required. This multi-size range supports flexibility across different nominal diameters within that span but does not extend beyond it. Verify the chemical environment inside the pipe to confirm compatibility with the NR-SBR rubber and Kevlar reinforcement, particularly for municipal or commercial applications involving chemical exposure. Confirm backpressure against the size-specific chart or manual for the selected pipe diameter, and keep that check separate from the specified inflation pressure.

Inflation And Blocking Planning

Before deploying the plug, inspect the rubber surface carefully for any cuts, abrasions, or damage, as these can lead to plug failure under pressure. Where pipe conditions are abrasive or irregular, a protective sleeve may be necessary to prevent damage during insertion or inflation. Inflate the plug to the specified inflation pressure and maintain this pressure during use through regular monitoring, as these plugs should not be left inflated and unattended for extended periods. Plan for blocking or restraint as detailed in the product manual to accommodate expected backpressure without displacement.
