Sava 535876 30"-60" Multi-Size Inflatable Pipe Plug with 6 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

The Sava 535876 covers a broad nominal pipe size range from 30 to 60 inches, making it compatible for various large-diameter applications in buildings, factories, and testing scenarios. When selecting this plug, confirming the exact pipe diameter within that range is crucial to confirm correct seal and performance. The bypass connection allows partial flow-through, important for applications requiring pressure testing or flow diversion without total isolation. The reinforced NR-SBR rubber combined with Kevlar cording offers enhanced strength tested to three times the working inflation pressure, though expected backpressure for the specific pipe size should be verified based on the product sizing charts or manuals.

Inflation And Blocking Planning

Before deployment, inspect the rubber surface for cuts, abrasions, or other damage, as even superficial damage can affect the plug’s performance. Use a protective sleeve if pipe conditions are rough or abrasive to reduce wear during insertion and retrieval. Inflate the plug to the required pressure, monitoring and maintaining it regularly during use, since extended unattended inflation is not recommended. Correct blocking or restraint is advised as outlined in the user manual to handle backpressure and prevent displacement.
