Air-Inflatable Plugs
Conform to wide and out-of-round pipes with these inflatable plugs. Also known as pneumatic plugs, they're designed for temporary seals since they can lose pressure over time. Inflate with a hand pump (sold separately); an air compressor may overinflate the plug and cause damage. Tether the plugs using either the eyebolt or chain/ring so they don't get lost or stuck in your pipes. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.

Air- and Water-Inflatable Plugs

Penetrate tight pipe junctures with the most flexible expansion plugs we offer. To inflate with air, use a hand pump (sold separately). Whether you fill with air or water, a pressure relief valve will prevent over expanding. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.

Air- and Water-Inflatable Plugs for Y-Joints

These extra-long plugs allow you to seal off two pipes at the same time. They have two separate inflation chambers to release back pressure gradually and prevent splash back as water clears the drain line. To inflate with air, use a hand pump (sold separately). Whether you fill with air or water, a pressure relief valve will prevent over expanding. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving. Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.

Air-Inflatable Plugs with Bypass
Conform to wide and out-of-round pipes with these inflatable plugs. Also known as pneumatic plugs, they're designed for temporary seals since they can lose pressure over time. Use the bypass tube on these plugs to add air, water, and other fluid to your pipeline or to relieve pressure while testing. Inflate with a hand pump (sold separately); an air compressor may overinflate the plug and cause damage. Tether the plugs using either the eyebolt or chain/ring so they don't get lost or stuck in your pipes. Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving.

Thread these fittings onto your testing equipment by hand for a secure connection in testing applications—no tools, tape, or sealant required. Use them with gauges and other equipment as a temporary connection. When pressure is applied, the O-ring on the outlet presses against the testing equipment, creating a tight seal.
Adapters with intermittent swivel rotate 360° until tightened for easy installation.

Pressure Test Fittings


Check pressure without permanently installing a gauge. Fittings have an NPT male connection for installation in your pipe or tank. Wrench-tighten the fitting onto your equipment, then insert the gauge adapter (sold separately) into the fitting. Connect gauge adapters to gauges with 1/4 pipe size NPT male threads.
