Frequently Asked QuestionsPipestoppers™ Inflatable StoppersPipestoppers™ Inflatable Stoppers

1.0  How do I know when to choose between a mechanical and an Inflatable Stopper?

Pipestoppers™ Inflatable Stoppers can be inserted and retracted through holes smaller than the one to be sealed.

2.0 How do I prevent the stoppers from being pushed out of the pipe during a pressure test?

It is common to brace the ends of pipes to prevent stoppers sliding out.  The Pipestoppers™ Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques can provide further data. 

3.0  Will your stoppers be suitable for use in petrochemical pipework where there are hydrocarbon liquids and gases present?

The Pipestoppers™ Division manufactures special Inflatable Stoppers for the petrochemical industry where long term resistance to petrochemical oils and vapours is necessary.
