INFLATABLE PIPE PLUG PRODUCT FEATURES:

The innovative design allows the pneumatic isolation plug to be smaller and more flexible which means it can be snaked through hot tap or branch pipes into larger pipelines that are otherwise inaccessible. Inflatable pipe plugs can inflate up to 8 times their compact size to prevent the flow of liquids during maintance work or to block pipes or drains in the event of a spill (connects with your air compressor). The compact size also means that this pneumatic plug takes up minimal storage.

Canvas outer shell with rubber bladder inside
Heat resistant materials are safe for use up to 140° F
Includes pressure gauge and 2’ hose. Longer hoses are available upon request
Expandable design conforms to a wide range of pipe diameters (I.D.); inflate partially or fully according to your application needs
When renting or purchasing, as an example, an 8" plug should be used on an 8" pipe
Ideally suited for short-term use
NOTE: We do not recommend these be used for holding back-pressure*

*If holding backpressure is a requirement, ask us about our new and exclusive GripSafe® plugs, or one of our other low to high pressure rated high quality plugs

INFLATABLE PIPE PLUG KEY BENEFITS

Temporary Pipe Blockage: Inflatable pipe plugs are commonly used to temporarily block the flow of liquids or gases in pipes during maintenance, repairs, or testing procedures. They provide a quick and effective means of isolating specific sections of a pipeline without the need for permanent modifications or shutdowns.
Versatility: Inflatable pipe plugs come in line sizes 1.5" - 66" to accommodate different pipe diameters and materials. This versatility allows them to be used in a wide range of piping systems, including sewer lines, stormwater drains, industrial pipelines, and plumbing systems.
Quick and Easy Installation: Inflatable pipe plugs can be installed rapidly and with minimal effort compared to traditional methods such as welding or bolting. They feature a simple inflation valve that allows users to inflate the plug to the desired pressure quickly.
Effective Sealing: Once inflated, our inflatable pipe plugs create a tight seal against the inner walls of the pipe, effectively blocking the flow of fluids or gases. This tight seal helps prevent leaks, spills, or contamination of surrounding areas during maintenance or repair activities.
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to alternative methods of pipe blocking or isolation, such as using mechanical plugs or performing hot taps, our inflatable pipe plugs are often more cost-effective. They require minimal equipment and labor, and they can be reused multiple times, making them a cost-effective solution for temporary pipe blockage.
Safety: Inflatable pipe plugs are designed with safety in mind. They are made from durable materials that can withstand the conditions encountered in various piping environments. Additionally, they can be easily deflated and removed from the pipe once the maintenance or testing procedures are complete, minimizing the risk of accidents or injuries.
