INFLATABLE PIPE PLUG KEY BENEFITS
- Temporary Pipe Blockage: Quickly blocks the flow of liquids or gases for maintenance, repairs, or testing without permanent modifications or shutdowns.
- Versatility: Fits pipe sizes 1.5" - 66", usable in various systems (sewer, stormwater, industrial, plumbing), and can be snaked into large, inaccessible pipes.
- Quick and Easy Installation: Fast setup with minimal effort, featuring a simple inflation valve for quick adjustment to the desired pressure.
- Effective Sealing: Creates a tight seal to prevent leaks, spills, or contamination during maintenance.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Lower cost than mechanical plugs or hot taps; reusable and requires minimal equipment and labor.
- Safety: Durable, safe materials that withstand harsh environments, easily deflated and removed to minimize risks.
Do not over-inflate inflatable pipe plugs beyond the pressure specified in the specifications to each stopper. The pressures are detailed in the accompanying table.
A Critical Reminder: Conducting pressure testing poses significant hazards, demanding strict adherence to safety protocols. Ensure all connections, valves, flanges, and fittings are suitable for pressure testing. Verify the compatibility of line ID & Plug Range. Most importantly, never position yourself in front of a test plug or enclosure during testing. Discharge from a plug during testing could result in severe injury or fatality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Typically not on our canvas plugs, but we can provide a different style that does have vent through capabilities.
We have provided inflatable pipe plugs up to 66". If you need a larger size we can provide other solutions for you!
Yes, let us know what size hose you need.
Our inflatable pipe plug is available in heat resistent materials that can be safe for use up to 140°F.
Although they can hold a few pounds, we do not recommend these be used for holding back pressure unless it's for water and there would be a negligible impact if they failed.
The only thing that can be repaired is the valve stem inner fill stem.
