Sava 526635 8"-16" Multi-Size Chemical Resistant Inflatable Pipe Plug w/ 2 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

This multi-size inflatable pipe plug covers nominal pipe sizes from 8 to 16 inches, which means it can seal a range of diameters within that span but still requires checking the sizing chart or manual to verify fit for the exact pipe dimension. The chemical-resistant chloroprene rubber construction, reinforced with Kevlar cording, is suited to environments where chemical exposure is a concern, but users should confirm the specific fluids or chemicals involved for compatibility. Because this plug features a 2-inch bypass, it allows flow-through testing or controlled bypass, so confirm the job’s flow requirements and confirm the bypass connection matches the needed setup. 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 Setup Planning

Before deployment, inspect the plug carefully for any cuts, abrasions, or signs of rubber damage, as imperfections can lead to failure under pressure even if not full-thickness. Use a protective sleeve if pipe conditions are rough or abrasive to help prevent damage during insertion and retrieval. Inflate the plug using the standard 1/4 inch male inflation fitting to the specified inflation pressure and monitor it regularly to maintain pressure during use. Do not leave the plug inflated and unattended for lengthy periods.
