Sava 526622 3"-6" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug

Sava 526622 3"-6" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

When selecting this multi-size inflatable pipe plug, confirm that the nominal pipe size falls within the 3" to 6" range for correct fit and sealing. The chloroprene rubber construction offers chemical resistance, making it compatible for applications involving some chemical exposure—verify the specific chemicals against this material’s compatibility before use. Due to its reinforcement with Kevlar tire cording, the plug maintains structural integrity under inflation and pressure. Consider expected backpressure carefully, checking it against the size-specific ratings in the manufacturer’s chart or manual, as these plugs are tested to three times their working inflation pressure for safety margins.

Inflation And Blocking Planning

Before deployment, inspect the plug carefully for cuts, abrasions, or any rubber damage that could cause failure under pressure. Using a protective sleeve is advisable when inserting or retrieving the plug through abrasive or irregular pipe surfaces to prevent damage. Inflate the plug to the specified pressure and monitor the inflation regularly throughout its use; maintaining the correct inflation pressure is important since these plugs should not remain inflated and unattended for extended periods. Plan for blocking or bracing according to the job requirements and manufacturer guidance to manage force from pipeline backpressure.
