Sava 60510 8"-16" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

This inflatable pipe plug suits nominal pipe diameters from 8 inches to 16 inches, covering multiple sizes within this range. The main selection factor is verifying the pipe diameter to fall within these limits and confirming the pipe interior condition for debris and damage that may affect sealing. The plug's chemical-resistant NR-SBR rubber, reinforced with Kevlar tire cording, supports use in chemical exposure environments, but specific chemical compatibility should be reviewed before use. Confirm backpressure against the size-specific chart or manual for the selected pipe diameter, and keep that check separate from the specified inflation pressure.

Inflation And Blocking Planning

Before deployment, inspect the plug's rubber for cuts, abrasions, or cracking that could lead to premature failure. Use a protective sleeve when pipe surfaces are rough or abrasive to prevent rubber damage during insertion and removal. Inflate the plug to the specified inflation pressure and monitor regularly to maintain this pressure during use as the plug should not remain inflated and unattended for long periods. Plan blocking or bracing as needed based on job-site conditions and follow any user and safety manual guidance for restraint.
