Sava 60429 4"-8" Multi-Size Inflatable Pipe Plug w/ 1 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

When selecting this multi-size inflatable pipe plug, verify the nominal pipe diameter falls within the 4-inch to 8-inch range. Consider the pipe material and surface condition as these factors affect plug seating and sealing. 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 included 1-inch bypass allows flow-through for testing or drainage during blocking operations, so confirm that the bypass size meets your project’s flow requirements.

Pipe Access And Setup Planning

Before installation, inspect the plug for any cuts, abrasions, or rubber damage, as even partial surface damage can affect inflation integrity. Use a protective sleeve if the pipe’s interior is rough or has sharp edges to reduce wear during insertion and removal. Monitor inflation pressure closely and maintain it at the required working pressure; these plugs should not remain inflated and unattended for long periods. Plan for correct blocking or restraint as noted in the user manual to manage backpressure forces.
