Pipe Plug Company Details
Many storm drainage-pipelines, sanitary sewer lines, and low-pressure underground pipelines do not have valves or spectacle flanges to block fluid flow in the line. PlugCo, a pipe plug company, has the answer to this dilemma! By easily blocking these lines and permitting access to them without the need for expensive, maintenance-intensive valves and flanges! So that the pipeline becomes accessible for inspection, maintenance, or modification.
PlugCo, one of the biggest pipe plug manufacturers, has an extensive range of pipe sealing and pipe repair products, including many designs of inflatable stoppers, joint testers, and pillow packers.
Pipe Plug ModelsPlugCo produces inflatable pipe plugs in sizes from 35mm (1.4 inches) to 3600mm (144 inches) in diameter. These plugs’ designs fit into three broad categories - cylindrical single-size plugs, cylindrical multi-size plugs, and conical plugs.
The conical pipe plug, although more expensive, has several advantages over a cylindrical plug design. Conical pipe plugs are manufactured in larger sizes than cylindrical plugs – up to 3600mm (144in / 12ft) in diameter. The most significant difference between the two designs, however, is that a conical pipe plug can be folded to a small diameter, which can be easily inserted into a narrow or constricted opening. Therefore, in many cases, this advantage means that a manhole does not need be removed or be located near the location where a conical plug is to be inserted or inflated.
In addition to its extensive product line of pipe plugs and conical plugs, PlugCo has products to test individual pipe joints. By testing a single pipe joint only, these joint testers have low water consumption. In other words, this means lower testing costs and reduced environmental impact.
PlugCo: a Pipe Packer SupplierIn addition to previously mentioned models, we also manufacture flexible pipe packers, which are used for point repairs of sewer, drainage, and water lines. These products provide a no-dig, trenchless solution for pipe repairing that will be attractive to both utilities and contractors. A straight - or lateral - packer is for repairing straight lines, and a “bendy” packer is used for repairing 45- and 90-degree elbows. PlugCo also provides pillow packers for point repair of large pipe sizes. Pillow packers, like the conical pipe plugs, can easily fit through narrow or constricted openings.
Special Products for Different Pipeline ApplicationsWe have also developed and manufactured a special stainless-steel plug for Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) repairs, called a steam process plug. This plug uses process steam to accelerate the curing process, and the SS construction is significantly different from other CIPP plugs in the marketplace.
PlugCo is not only a manufacturer of plugs mainly serving the “water infrastructure” industry — sewer, storm drains, and potable water pipelines — it is also a supplier for plugs used for sealing hydrocarbon lines such as oil, petrol, and natural gas. Our nitrile rubber gas plugs provide excellent resistance against petrochemical fluids. PlugCo produces gas plugs capable of withstanding up to 8 bar pressure for Pig applications in oil and gas lines. In the same context, PlugCo supplied Gas & Oil Plug Models with Bypass connection for a well-known Oman company after our engineer had visited them and given them a training on how to use our pipe plugs.

Applications
Inflatable rubber pipe-plugs are used during maintenance, repair or new installation of pipe systems. They are used to seal off sections of pipes in a fast, safe and simple manner. Those pipe plugs are often used for blocking pipes, channels, manholes, dams, reservoir and storage tanks. That allows the pipe line to be leak tested or repaired. Some applications for these pipe plugs include:
- Municipal testing of new and repaired pipelines
- Blocking water/sewage/drainage/oil/chemicals flows during tests or modifications or repairs
- Restricting, diverting and bypassing flow in pipes during tests or modifications or repairs
- Keeping pipelines free of dirt as they can cap or block the ends of pipe systems. This allows any construction or maintenance jobs to be conducted with contaminants from entering the pipe lines.
Terms
Material: NR = Isoprene rubber, natural. SBR = Styrene-butadiene rubber.
Inflating or Working Pressure: That pressure is required value to fill inside of the plug by air. That value is between 1,0 Bar to 6,0 Bar for PLUGCO products.
Back(sliding) Pressure: Due to elevation difference between two ends of the pipe line, there will be water pressure which is pushing the plugs from back side of plug to outside of the pipe. That is called as Back Pressure.
Item Codes: The item codes of the pipe plugs are occurred from first letters of their original names and size ranges.
PTP300600 = Pipe Test Plug (from 300 mm up to 600 mm)
JT1200 = Joint Tester (for 1200 mm)
