Why Contractors Find Pipeline Plugs Essential

When conducting pipe testing, inspection, or repair tasks, having suitable plugs and pipeline plug tools is essential. PrimeLine Products offers an extensive inventory of pneumatic and mechanical plugs, along with a wide array of tools and accessories designed to fit various pipe types and sizes.

Now, let’s delve into the compelling reasons why an increasing number of contractors prefer pipeline plugs.

Pinpoint Accuracy For Leak Detection

For precise leak testing, it’s crucial to isolate specific segments of a pipe. Our pneumatic pipeline plugs streamline this task by effectively blocking flow in designated areas. Using the accompanying pump ensures accurate pressure control to isolate fluid flow elsewhere in the pipeline. To prolong the plug’s lifespan, we recommend adhering to ISO 2230 standards and conducting thorough cleaning after each use.

Versatility When Bypassing Pipeline Segments

When you need to bypass one or more segments of a pipe over an extended period, we highly recommend using mechanical pipeline plugs. These plugs allow you to apply the necessary pressure, and their robust nut securely locks them in position for as long as required. Specifically, our T-Gripper plugs are engineered to maintain a reliable and tight seal over many years of use.

Pipe Maintenance and Protection

Regular maintenance is crucial for extending the lifespan of pipes and averting issues like sewage backups. For short-term maintenance tasks, we advise using pneumatic plugs. Following pipeline maintenance, it’s important to thoroughly rinse the plug and ensure it air-dries completely before its next use. Proper storage conditions include maintaining the plug within a temperature range of 59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
