Sava 76768 S3 3" Single-size Commercial Series Inflatable Pipe Plug with 0.5 in. Bypass Product Guide

Pipe Plug Selection Notes

This pipe plug fits nominal 3-inch pipe sizes and offers a 0.5-inch bypass for flow-through testing. Selection should confirm the pipe diameter matches the plug’s single-size specification and that the expected backpressure for the job aligns with the plug’s rated capacity. The plug’s NR-SBR rubber composition with Kevlar reinforcement is designed for certain industrial and municipal applications, so verify that the pipe material and internal conditions do not exceed the plug’s pressure or chemical exposure limits. Since this unit uses standard tire valves for inflation, compatibility with available inflation equipment should be checked in advance.

Pipe Access And Setup Planning

Plan for full inspection of the rubber surface before insertion, looking for cuts or abrasions that could cause failure under pressure. If the pipe interior condition is rough or contains debris, consider using a protective sleeve to prevent damage during inflation. The 0.5-inch bypass connection requires verification of flow requirements and the correct orientation when placing the plug. Inflation pressure must be maintained at the recommended level while in use, with periodic monitoring to avoid pressure loss. Blocking or bracing should be planned based on the site’s pressure and pipe configuration according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Since this plug is sale-only, confirm sizing and condition before purchase. Routine cleaning and inspection after use support reuse and safety preparation.
