PIPELINE SEALING SOLUTIONS

Nothing temporarily closes a cavity or seals an opening better than an inflatable plug. PIPE PLUGGERS are heavy duty, inflatable pipe plugs especially designed for use during the construction, maintenance, and repair of pipeline, ducts, and tunnels.

  • Each Subsalve product is 100% tested prior to shipping.

Product Details

Fabric

Pipe Pluggers are constructed of high tenacity, urethane coated nylon fabric for high strength of over 1000lbs. per inch, and the urethane coating is resistant to fuel and most other petrochemicals.

Safety and Ease-of-Use Features

Each PIPE PLUGGER is equipped with rigging hardware, 1/4″ to 3/4″ inflation ports, and pressure relief valves to prevent blow-ups.

PIPE PLUGGERS are also available with a by-pass design. Stock sizes are available from 12″ to 96″ diameter.

Custom sizes, shapes, and configurations can be designed and manufactured to meet special needs.

The Subsalve Promise
  • Each Subsalve USA lift bag is tested prior to shipping.
  • Custom sizes available.
  • All Subsalve USA products are compliant with IMCA D-016-AIRBAGS, ABS, U.S. Department of Defense Standards.
