 Pipe Plug 
Pipe Plugs/Sewer Pipe Plugs are
designed to provide a quick and simple means to perform a variety of
jobs such as stopping flow in a pipeline (for maintenance or repair),
down stream pipeline acceptance testing, or to stop flow so that
infiltration of a section can be measured etc.
Thus, a Sewer Pipe Plug is thus a device that is used to arrest the flow of
contents further in the pipe. It is available in a variety of styles,
sizes, and configurations so as to match your specific job requirements.
Plugs are mainly used in fluid plumbing applications to plug off a FPT
fitting, have varying pressures (from low pressure to high pressure) and
are available as expandable, mechanical and inflatable, something just
right for virtually any application.
These plugs simplify the maintenance of all types of shell and tube
heat exchangers and speed the performance of in-service inspection of
pipe, pipelines, piping systems and pressure vessels.
Some of the popular types of plugs are :
- Mechanical pipe plug : Mechanical Pipe Plugs are
designed for use in concrete, clay, and some plastic pipes. They
don't require air and are good for long term applications.
- Pneumatic disk pipe plug : These sewer pipe plugs are designed for
use in concrete, clay, plastic as well as steel pipe. They have slim
profile, bolt together sections, higher back and test pressure
capabilities more than other low pressure plugs.
- Single size pneumatic all rubber pipe plug : These are
designed for use in a wide variety of pipe types and styles. Their
advantages include their ability to seal most slightly out of round
pipes and are economical to use when only one pipe size is needed.
- Multi-size pneumatic pipe plug : These Plugs are
designed for use in a wide variety of pipe types and styles as well
as job requirements. Their usage does not require the need to know
the exact pipe size and they are compatible with a variety of pipe
sizes. They also seal most slightly out of round pipes and are
excellent for standard low pressure air testing. These plugs are
also used for blocking or leak locating.
- Multi-size flow-through pipe plug : These pipe plugs
seal multiple line sizes and the major application includes
blocking, testing and diverting. They are most useful for by-pass
pumping, leak locating or blocking and gravity flow diversion.
- High pressure pipe plug : Available in a large number of
sizes and pressures, they are used for testing or blocking of lines
up to high pressures (around 150 PSI).
