HFT® design and manufacture a range of Mechanical and In atable Pipestoppers® and Plugs to suit every application.
The Pipestoppers® Division Manu- factures:
The lightweight Nylon Plugs for cleanliness, orbital welding techniques as well as pharma- ceutical and medical applica- tions. Other applications for these lightweight plugs include leak testing, sealing, isolation and weld purging. Manufac- tured in sizes 0.5 up to 6” (12 – 150 mm), the Nylon Plugs are available individually or in ready-made kits.
The heavy-duty Aluminium Plugs allow for arduous duties such as exposure to high tem- peratures and immersion in chemicals. They are manufac- tured in sizes 1.5 to 36” (38 - 900 mm).
Lighter in weight, the In ata- ble Stoppers are manufactured in various shapes including the Low Pro le, Cylindrical and Spherical. There are Petro- ChemTM resistant versions and high pressure Rubber Plugs as additional products. They are designed for several applica- tions, which include blocking pipes, tanks or other ori ces, weld purging, routine mainte- nance or to prevent the entry of foreign bodies.
For making ice plugs anywhere in piping systems that contain uid, the Accu-FreezeTM and Qwik-FreezerTM Systems allow repairs to sprinkler heads, exchange of or maintenance to valves or other controls or instrumentation, without draining the system.
Whether your application is weld purging where there are numerous
pipe ends to be blocked, prevent- ing draughts that may adversely in uence a process, monitoring gas emissions on waste sites, on-site machining to prevent the ingress of machining uid, swarf and miscellaneous metal pieces from entering pipework or for making ice plugs in pipework, HFT Pipestoppers® Division has the answer!
