Sava 60442 20"-40" Multi-Size Inflatable Pipe Plug w/ 2 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

The Sava 60442 inflatable pipe plug covers a diameter range from 20 to 40 inches, which makes it compatible for various sized pipes within that nominal range. Since it includes a 2-inch bypass, verify if flow-through or bypass testing is required on your project, as this feature allows fluid or air to pass while the plug is in place. Confirm backpressure against the size-specific chart or manual for the selected pipe diameter, and keep that check separate from the specified inflation pressure. The plug’s construction from reinforced NR-SBR rubber with Kevlar cording helps it withstand inflation pressures at three times the working pressure, but inspect pipe interior conditions for abrasions or sharp edges that can damage the rubber during insertion or use.

Inflation And Setup Planning

Before deployment, inspect the plug carefully for any rubber cuts, abrasions, or damage that may affect sealing or lead to blowouts. Use a protective sleeve if pipe surfaces are rough or contain debris to reduce wear during insertion and retrieval. Inflate the plug through the standard tire valve fitting, maintaining the specified inflation pressure during the entire usage period, as pressure loss may compromise the seal. Position blocking or restraint as detailed in applicable manuals to prevent plug displacement under pressure.
