Technologies That Save You Time & Money

Every accessory is purpose-engineered to eliminate labor, reduce risk, and speed up your project timeline.

EZ Turn Hydraulic Actuator Cylinders™ Patented

Synchronous hydraulic tightening and loosening of seal expansion nuts, which in turn expands and contracts the plug seals. No manual intervention is required, equaling a dramatic time and labor cost savings to you and your project budget.

Traditional pipe plugs require workers to manually torque multiple expansion nuts — a time-consuming and physically demanding process, especially in large-diameter piping. The EZ Turn system actuates all seals simultaneously with a single hydraulic operation, reducing seal deployment time by a significant margin.

Zero Manual Seal Intervention Required

EZ Slide Heavy Duty Mounted Casters™ Exclusive

Casters provide fluid movement of oversized and heavy-weighted isolation plugs inside the pipe. Consequently, the casters require very little physical exertion to position or reposition the pipe plug once seated in the pipe.

For large-diameter piping, plug weight can run into hundreds of pounds. The EZ Slide caster system distributes that load and allows a single operator to smoothly maneuver the plug into position without heavy lifting equipment.

Minimal Physical Exertion — One Operator Can Position the Plug

EZ Align Fit-Up Clamp™ Exclusive

Clamp latches onto third-party device in order to slide the oversized and heavy-weighted isolation plug into place over short and long distances.

Whether you're inserting the plug from a crane, forklift, or tugger, the EZ Align Clamp creates a secure mechanical connection that keeps the plug properly oriented during travel — critical for accurate seating in large-diameter pipe runs.

Works Over Both Short and Long Entry Distances

Internally Mounted Digital Camera with LED Lighting Smart Tech

Internally mounted camera allows you to perfectly locate the weld seam. There is no more guessing, or requiring you to measure short and long distances in order to seat the plug properly in place before beginning your project operation.

The live camera feed is displayed externally so the operator can see exactly where the seals will land relative to the weld zone — eliminating one of the most common causes of failed isolation tests.

Eliminates Guesswork — Confirms Weld-Seam Position in Real Time

Ultra-Wide Tri-Ply® Seals Patented

The patented multi-durometer Tri-Ply Seal provides a larger surface coverage area over the standard seal, resulting in a greater expansion range, and eliminates seal mushrooming that happens from over-torquing the seal expansion nuts.

Standard seals rely on a single durometer compound and a narrow contact band. The Tri-Ply design bonds three layers of different hardness ratings into a single seal body, creating a wide, self-distributing contact zone that adapts to minor ID variations — common in fabricated and welded large-diameter pipe.

Greater Expansion Range & No Mushrooming

Frequently Asked Questions

The Rolling DBB is a custom-engineered, full-system solution. Unlike standard plugs, it integrates hydraulic seal actuation (no manual torqueing), heavy-duty casters for in-pipe mobility, an internal camera for weld-seam location, and patented Tri-Ply seals — all in a single plug body purpose-built for large-diameter piping.
Yes. The hydraulic system is designed for confined and restricted-access environments. The actuation lines can be extended so operators remain outside the pipe during seal expansion, improving safety significantly over manual methods.
The camera connects via a cable assembly that routes through the plug body and exits through a sealed port at the plug's end face. The signal can be fed to a standard monitor, tablet, or recording device positioned outside the pipe. LED lighting is integrated into the camera mount for visibility in the pipe's interior.
Yes. A detailed case study is available documenting USAI's Custom Rolling DBB deployment on a large-diameter Invar LNG piping project, where the plug was used for pneumatic weld testing. The case study covers the project challenges, engineering solution, and results. You can download it from the documents tab above.
The Ultra-Wide Tri-Ply® Seal covers a significantly larger surface area than a standard single-durometer seal, allowing it to accommodate greater variation in pipe ID and tolerate minor ovality or weld bead irregularities while maintaining a positive seal. Contact us for specific expansion range data for your pipe diameter.
All accessories — hydraulic actuator cylinders, heavy-duty casters, EZ Align fit-up clamp, and internal camera — can be specified as a complete system or ordered individually to add onto an existing plug. We'll review your current setup and recommend the combination that delivers the most value for your project.
