Steel Pipe Stopper 150mm

Heavy-duty 150mm steel pipe stopper engineered for blocking or testing standard 6-inch pipelines and drainage networks. Built with a zinc-plated steel chassis and an expanding rubber ring, it provides a dependable, high-pressure seal to ensure safe pipeline isolation during site maintenance.

Heavy Duty Zinc Plated Steel Frame: Built with a rugged steel central stem and plates that resist mechanical deformation and corrosion in damp trench environments.
Expandable Natural Rubber Perimeter Ring: Features a high-grip rubber sealing rim that expands uniformly against the inner pipe wall to form a gas and watertight block.
Threaded Steel Nominal Bypass Nipple: Outfitted with a central hollow half-inch thread and removable sealing cap to allow controlled water drainage or air testing connections.
Mechanical Wing Nut Locking Assembly: Employs a smooth twin-lip compression nut that tightens manually to compress the plates and expand the plug quickly without complex tool setups.

FAQs

What are the main applications for a 150mm steel pipe stopper on site?

A 150mm steel pipe stopper is ideal for sealing, blanking, or pressure-testing standard 6-inch commercial drainage lines, main sewers, and industrial pipework.

How does a 150mm mechanical steel stopper create a secure seal?

Turning the central wing nut compresses a thick rubber ring between two zinc-plated steel plates, expanding the seal uniformly against the inner wall of the 150mm pipe.

Can a 150mm steel stopper be used for standard building regulation air tests?

Yes, bypass versions feature a threaded central outlet allowing easy connection to test nipples, hand pumps, and U-gauge manometers for official pressure testing.

Is the steel construction resistant to harsh site conditions and effluent?

The zinc-plated steel plates and heavy-duty rubber ring resist corrosion, rust, and exposure to chemicals, wastewater, and abrasive site grit.

What is the advantage of using a steel mechanical stopper over plastic or inflatable bags?

Steel stoppers offer superior mechanical strength and stability, providing a rigid, high-pressure seal that will not deflate or slip during demanding pipe tests.

Can I hire a 150mm steel pipe stopper for short-term drainage testing?

Yes, we carry a complete selection of 150mm steel mechanical stoppers within our nationwide hire fleet, fully inspected and ready for immediate delivery to your project.
