Small Inflatable Bypass Pipe Plugs

A bypass plug is used to temporarily seal a pipe while still allowing fluid, air, or gas to flow through a built-in bypass line—making it essential for maintenance, pressure testing, or diverting flow in systems like municipal water lines, industrial pipelines, or hazmat operations. While the Cherne bypass plug is a common and reliable choice in the U.S., the Vetter mini test sealing bags offers superior performance in high-stakes environments. Designed for emergency response, it’s compact, built with reinforced materials, and trusted by hazmat teams and fire departments worldwide.
