What Is a Pipe Inflatable Plug?
A Pipe Inflatable Plug is a specialized component used in piping systems, including drainage and sewer systems. Made from elastic materials like rubber, this plug expands when air is injected into it, effectively sealing the pipe and preventing the flow of fluids such as air and water.
This tool is essential for leak checking in piping systems. Leak checking is a process to test for gas or liquid leaks from joints and connections. By sealing specific sections of the pipe with an inflatable plug, it’s possible to examine the system for internal leaks, ensuring its integrity.
Apart from leak testing, Pipe Inflatable Plugs are also useful in emergencies, such as pipe damage, where they can quickly seal off a section of the pipe to prevent fluid flow and contain potential spills or leaks.
