Pipeline Pigging

Abandonment Plugs

Aluminum / PL Plug 1½” to 36”

Advantages:

  • Lightweight, easy to handle – up to 70% lighter than similar steel plugs.
  • Durable cast aluminum – heavy duty, non-corrosive and maintenance-free; with natural rubber seal.
  • Fill or Vent – threaded pipe stem has removable cap.
  • Simple to install and work with – wing nut easily expands rubber seal.

NOTE: Expansion plugs are less effective at the higher limits of expansion than in the mid range. Let us help you by supplying the proper sizes for your requirements.
