Expansion Plugs with Bypass


Style D	Style G

Use the bypass tube on these plugs to add air, water, and other fluid to your pipeline or to relieve pressure while testing. The seal expands to temporarily close off pipe openings.

Style D—For Style D, twist the wing nut to expand the seal. They have an NPT threaded bypass for making leak-tight connections.

Style G—For Style G, twist the easy-grip T-handle to expand the seal. They have a Schrader valve bypass. An internal spring holds the valve shut until you depress the pin, giving you control over air flow.

Maximum Air Back Pressure—Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving.

Maximum Water Back Pressure—Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.

Air-Inflatable Plugs

Style C

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. They’re better for lower-pressure applications than water-inflatable plugs. Inflate them with a hand pump; an air compressor may overinflate the plug and cause damage.

Plugs with a chain or eyebolt can be tethered through either so they don't get lost or stuck in your pipes during installation. For easy removal once testing is complete, pull on your tether.

With Zinc-Plated Steel Chain/Ring

Style C

Ribbed Body—Plugs with a ribbed texture have better traction against pipe walls than plugs with a smooth texture. When sealing oily or polished walls, they’ll resist slipping.

Maximum Air Back Pressure—Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving.

Maximum Water Back Pressure—Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
