The largest standard Sava Plugy in the HTC hire range — a heavy-duty pneumatic pipe sealing plug for isolating and pressure testing pipes from 750 to 1,500 mm at a low inflation pressure of 1.0 bar.
Key Features
-
-
- 750–1,500 mm usable range — the widest range in the Plugy lineup; suits the largest-diameter civil and infrastructure pipes
- 1.0 bar (15 psi) inflation pressure — the lowest inflation pressure in the range; do not exceed
- 1.0 bar maximum back pressure — at 750–800 mm; back pressure rating reduces progressively with increasing pipe size down to 0.5 bar at 1,500 mm
- Supplied with ARO air couplers — compatible with standard compressed air supplies
- 75 kg unit weight — mechanical assistance required for safe insertion and retrieval; plan for access and lifting equipment on site
-
