Sava 535881 32"-72" Multi-Size Inflatable Pipe Plug Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

When selecting this multi-size inflatable pipe plug, verify the nominal pipe diameter to confirm it falls within the 32" to 72" range. The plug’s NR-SBR rubber construction reinforced with Kevlar tire cording is designed for industrial and building applications where a flexible yet strong seal is required. From a selection standpoint, confirm the pipe surface condition to anticipate possible abrasion or irregularities that could affect the sealing surface. Confirm backpressure against the size-specific chart or manual for the selected pipe diameter, and keep that check separate from the specified inflation pressure.

Pipe Access And Setup Planning

Before installation, inspect the plug carefully for any cuts, abrasions, or damage to the rubber surface, as such imperfections can lead to failure under pressure. When working in pipes with rough or potentially abrasive surfaces, using a protective sleeve during insertion and inflation can help preserve the rubber integrity. Inflate the plug to the manufacturer-specified inflation pressure through the standard 1/4" male inflation fitting and maintain this pressure throughout use; these plugs should not be left inflated unattended for long periods. Plan for physical blocking or restraint as needed to counteract forces from backpressure and secure the plug.
