Sava 526626 24"-48" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

The Sava 526626 covers a range of nominal pipe sizes from 24 inches up to 48 inches, allowing one plug to adapt to multiple diameters within this range. When selecting this plug, verify the actual pipe diameter and pipe condition to confirm correct seating and sealing. The plug’s NR-SBR rubber with Kevlar reinforcement is designed for chemical resistance, but confirm compatibility with specific chemicals expected in the pipe environment. Backpressure ratings should be checked against the manufacturer’s size-specific charts or manual to match the pipe size in use.

Inflation And Blocking Planning

Before use, inspect the rubber surface closely for cuts, abrasions, or cracking, as damaged areas can compromise the plug’s function. Where pipe surface conditions are rough or irregular, consider using a protective sleeve to avoid damage during insertion, inflation, or retrieval. Inflate the plug to the required pressure and monitor it regularly throughout use to maintain inflation and seating. Plan for blocking or restraint to counteract backpressure forces, referencing the user and safety materials for detailed procedures.
