Sava 535878 30"-60" Multi-Size Inflatable Pipe Plug with 8 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

This multi-size inflatable pipe plug covers a range of 30 to 60 inches nominal pipe diameter, making it adaptable to various pipe sizes within that span. When selecting this plug, verify the exact pipe diameter falls within this specified range and confirm the pipe’s internal condition to avoid damage to the rubber surface during insertion or inflation. The 8-inch bypass feature allows some flow-through capability during use; plan accordingly based on whether flow diversion or limited pressure testing is required. Backpressure ratings must be checked against the size-specific chart or manufacturer documentation for the selected pipe diameter to confirm compatibility with expected line pressures.

Inflation, Inspection, And Setup Planning

Prior to deployment, inspect the plug’s NR-SBR rubber and Kevlar reinforcement for any cuts, abrasions, or cracking, as surface damage can increase blowout risk. If the pipe surface is rough or potentially abrasive, use a protective sleeve to reduce wear during insertion and retrieval. Inflate the plug to the required inflation pressure using the standard tire valve and maintain this pressure throughout the operation, monitoring regularly. Blocking or bracing measures should be arranged to counteract expected backpressure, referring to the user and safety manual for guidance.
