Sava 526636 6"-12" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug w/ 1 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

The Sava 526636 covers a nominal pipe size range from 6 inches to 12 inches, making it a versatile choice for projects needing one plug to fit multiple diameters within that range. When selecting this plug, verify that the pipe’s internal diameter is within the specified limits and inspect the pipe surface for abrasions or irregularities that might affect sealing. Because this plug includes a 1-inch bypass, confirm that the job requires or can accommodate flow-through testing during use. Its chemical-resistant NR-SBR rubber and Kevlar reinforcement provide added resistance in industrial or municipal settings where chemical exposure is a concern.

Pipe Access And Setup Planning

Plan for visual inspection of the plug before deployment to identify any cuts, abrasions, or rubber damage, especially given its chemical-resistant rubber composition. Use protective sleeves if pipe interior surfaces are rough or abrasive to reduce wear during insertion and retrieval. Upon inflation through standard tire valves, maintain the specified inflation pressure and monitor it regularly during the work phase, as the plug is not intended to be left inflated and unattended for lengthy periods of time. Consider pipe blocking or restraint requirements as outlined in the product safety manual to prepare for forces during pressurization.
