Sava 60507 6"-12" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug

Sava 60507 6"-12" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

The Sava 60507 covers a pipe diameter range from 6 to 12 inches, making it useful when a single plug must serve multiple nominal pipe sizes within that range. From a selection standpoint, verifying the specific pipe size and condition is important to confirm compatibility with the plug’s chemical-resistant NR-SBR rubber compound reinforced with Kevlar tire cording. Backpressure capacity varies across the size range, so check the size-specific ratings or manuals to confirm the plug can handle the expected system pressures. The included 1/4 inch male inflation fitting requires an inflation pressure aligned with the working pressure rating, which should be maintained during use.

Pipe Access And Setup Planning

Before installation, inspect the plug for any cuts, abrasions, or cracking in the rubber covering, since even minor damage can increase risk of failure under pressure. Consider using a protective sleeve if pipe conditions are rough or irregular to avoid chafing during insertion and retrieval. Inflation pressure needs to be monitored and maintained at the recommended level while the plug is in service, as it should not remain inflated unattended for long periods. Plan for correct blocking or restraint in line with the user manual guidance, especially when backpressure or flow pressures are significant.
