Pipe plugs let you section off part of the pipe so that you can work on it without disturbing the rest of the system. The pipe plug creates an airtight, leakproof seal. Once the plug is in place, you can flush the pipe with air or water to pressurize the system and detect any problem areas.
Why is the plug used in pipe fitting?
Application of Pipe Plugs: Pipe plugs are used in the closing of the ends of various hydraulic or pneumatic pipes or tubes. Plugs are essential devices used in the plumbing apparatus of both industrial and domestic water supply lines, machinery and so on. They are also for removal of air blocks on water pump lines.
Can you use water to inflate a pipe plug?
(2) A plug may be inflated immediately with water if the pipeline is at least 1/2 full of water. If not it must be first filled with air and then the air displaced with water. (3) The estimated volume of water should be monitored during filling along with the inflation pressure.
