The 128 Series PeteStop® Line Stop Insertion System is designed for the safe and controlled installation of the 128-Series inflatable line stop plugs in pipelines. Each system ensures consistent performance during live line stopping, allowing for maintenance, valve replacement, or adjustments without having to shut down the entire system.
Each PeteStop® Insertion system is tested for field durability and designed to meet most size, pressure, chemical, and temperature requirements encountered in pipeline maintenance applications.
Complete 128-Series Insertion System Kit Components
Each 128-Series Insertion System Kit includes all the essential components required for controlled, safe, and efficient installation of PeteStop® inflatable line stop plugs. Every part is designed to ensure proper alignment, sealing, and performance during live pipeline operations.
- Launch Cylinder(s): Used to insert and accurately position the inflatable line stop plug into the pipeline under pressure.
- Inflation Ram(s): Regulates plug inflation once in place and includes set screws and coupling (if required) for secure operation.
- Inflation Pulley Assembly: Provides smooth control for positioning and retrieving the plug during inflation and deflation.
- Packing Seal: Forms a reliable, leak-tight seal on the Launch Cylinder and the insertion ram while allowing for pressure release and pipeline pressure monitoring.
- Centering Anchor: Keeps the insertion system properly aligned, anchoring the plug in the pipeline.
- Hardware Kit: Contains bolts, eyebolts, nuts, and gasket for assembling and securing all insertion components.
- Inflation Ram Spare Parts Kit: Includes replacement parts for continued system reliability and field maintenance.
Note: The 128-Series Plug and Rotating Elbow are sold separately.
