The Sava 60970 Plugsy VP seals the pipe and keeps flow moving — a large-diameter bypass plug for 350 to 600 mm pipes that diverts live flow through a built-in 6″ bypass port while the section behind it is isolated for maintenance or testing.
Key Features
-
-
- 350–600 mm usable range — suits large-diameter pipe applications across civil and infrastructure work
- 6″ built-in bypass port — maintains active flow through the plug during isolation; available with 4″ and 2″ bypass options
- Aramid cord-reinforced replaceable rubber sleeve — high-strength reinforcement for reliable sealing under pressure; sleeve is replaceable to extend service life
- Non-corrodible metal parts — suitable for long-term use across wet and aggressive pipe environments
- 1.5 bar (22 psi) inflation pressure — do not exceed stated inflation pressure
- M10 eyebolt thread — for safe handling and retrieval with standard lifting attachments
- 17 kg unit weight — two-person handling recommended for safe insertion and retrieval

Typical Applications
-
-
- Live flow diversion during maintenance and repair of large-diameter water and wastewater mains
- Pressure testing of pipe sections where flow cannot be fully isolated
- Bypass operations in stormwater, wastewater, and water supply infrastructure
- Suitable for all pipe materials — concrete, PVC, clay, steel, and HDPE
