Sava 526628 20"-40" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug w/ 2 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

From a selection standpoint, confirm the targeted pipe diameter falls within the 20 to 40 inch range this plug covers. Confirm backpressure against the size-specific chart or manual for the selected pipe diameter, and keep that check separate from the specified inflation pressure. Consider the chemical exposure anticipated in the pipe line to confirm the NR-SBR rubber with Kevlar reinforcement is compatible. The presence of a 2-inch bypass allows flow-through testing, so verify that bypass size suits the flow requirements of the application.

Inflation And Blocking Planning

Inspect the plug rubber surface before deployment for any cuts, abrasions, or damage that could cause failure during inflation. Use a protective sleeve if the pipe surface is abrasive or irregular to reduce wear during inflation and retrieval. Inflate the plug to the specified working pressure via the standard tire valve fitting and maintain that pressure by periodic monitoring during use, as these plugs should not be left inflated unattended for extended periods. Plan for mechanical blocking or restraint as outlined in the user manual to counteract pipeline backpressure and movement during use.
