Powerstop

Positive Sealing for Small Diameters
Power Stop is a popular and proven expanding stopper in sizes 2”, 21⁄2”, 3”, 31⁄2”, 4”, 5” and 6”. It is used by many gas utilities and water companies. Working pressure 16 bar, tested to 24 bar.

The positive seal provides two distinct advantages:

  • The rubber seals expand 20mm in range and takes up ovality or build up within the pipeline.
  • The mechanical special seal allows new sections of pipe to be pressure tested between the stops
