Sava 528252 30"-60" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

From a selection standpoint, the important details to confirm include the nominal pipe diameter range of 30" to 60" that this plug covers. The chemical-resistant chloroprene rubber with Kevlar reinforcement suits applications where moderate chemical exposure may occur, but the specific chemicals and temperatures encountered should be verified before use. The inflatable design requires controlled inflation to the working pressure specified by the manufacturer, with inflation pressure separate from backpressure capability. Backpressure ratings need checking in the product manual or size chart for the selected pipe diameter within the stated range.

Pipe Access And Setup Planning

Pre-use inspection is essential to check the rubber surface for cuts, abrasions, or cracking that could cause failure during inflation. A protective sleeve should be considered if pipe conditions are abrasive or irregular. The plug must be inflated with a standard 1/4" male inflation fitting and inflation pressure monitored and maintained throughout its use—these plugs should not be left inflated and unattended for long periods. Blocking or restraint planning is advised per manufacturer recommendations to manage pipe backpressure.
