Sava – High Performance Plugs – PLUGY HPF & PLUGSY HPF
When the job demands dependable pipe isolation, testing, or flow stopping under more demanding conditions, the Sava PLUGY HPF & PLUGSY HPF high-performance range at HTC delivers industrial-grade performance trusted by contractors, utilities, and civil infrastructure teams.
Designed for maximum strength, durability, and safety, these multi-size pneumatic pipe plugs are made from a high-quality rubber mixture with additional built-in aramid reinforcement, allowing them to ensure reliable functioning and withstand higher back pressures across all types of pipelines from 100 mm up to 2400 mm. They feature an extra-strong aramid reinforcement construction, a wider range of large bypass flows (including 4″, 6″, and 8″ openings) on the PLUGSY models, and heavy-duty eyebolts with quick coupling to simplify manipulation. Perfect for flow stopping and pipe tightness testing, this specialized range is also available in oil-resistant versions for demanding pipeline maintenance applications.
