Muni Ball® pipe plugs and Plumber Test Plugs are inflatable rubber plugs designed to temporarily block or seal pipelines. When inflated inside a pipe, they expand to create a secure seal, allowing contractors and utility workers to test, isolate, or perform maintenance without having to remove entire sections of piping.
These inflatable test plugs are commonly used in plumbing, sewer, and municipal pipelines. Plumber test plugs are a reliable way to evaluate new installations or isolate a line during repair in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. Muni Ball® plugs are used in municipal applications such as sewer and drain testing, flow control, and inspection.
Plumber Style vs. Muni Ball Style Plugs – 130-0 Series
We provide both plumber style and Muni-Ball® style test plugs to suit different handling needs. Plumber style plugs (M suffix) include an oversize ring and chain for easier use in plumbing systems. Muni-Ball® style plugs (MS suffix) include an eye bolt for safe installation and retrieval in sewer lines.
- Plumber Test Style Plugs - Plumber test plugs are commonly used in both residential and commercial plumbing systems. They are designed for use in smaller-scale plumbing projects which require quick installation and removal.
- Muni Ball Style Plugs - Muni Ball® test plugs are frequently used for municipal and sewer system applications. Their design supports safe handling in larger pipelines where plugs may need to be positioned or retrieved using additional equipment.
Both designs offer reliable sealing and are designed for testing, isolation, and temporary flow control in a variety of pipe systems.
Benefits of Muni Ball and Plumber Test Plugs
Inflatable plumber and Muni-Ball® pipe plugs have multiple benefits that make them useful tools for testing and maintenance in both plumbing and municipal applications.
- Simple installation and removal - The inflatable design allows the plug to be inserted into a pipe, expanded with air, and then deflated for quick removal once the work is complete.
- Wide material compatibility - These plugs can be used effectively in cast iron, PVC, concrete, clay, and other common piping materials.
- Reusable construction - Manufactured from durable rubber, the plugs can withstand repeated use when properly cared for and inspected.
- Flexible valve options - Models are available with different valve fittings to meet specific testing, inflation, or system requirements.
These benefits make inflatable plumber and Muni-Ball® plugs a practical option for contractors, municipalities, and maintenance teams looking for reliable short-term pipe isolation and testing options.
Applications of Muni Ball and Plumber Test Plugs
Inflatable plumber plugs and Muni Ball® style plugs are versatile tools that help to ensure safe and efficient work in a variety of plumbing systems. Typical applications include:
- Leak Detection And Pressure Testing – Confirming that new or repaired piping systems are properly sealed before being put into service.
- Line Isolation – Temporarily blocking sections of pipe to allow valve replacement, joint repair, or other maintenance activities.
- Plumbing Installations – Providing a reliable method for checking the integrity of residential and commercial piping systems during construction or renovation.
- Sewer And Municipal Pipelines – Managing flow, isolating sections, and ensuring safe working conditions during inspections, cleaning, or rehabilitation projects.
These inflatable plugs satisfy both plumbing and municipal needs, providing consistent performance across a variety of piping systems and project requirements.

FAQs
Can Muni Ball and Plumber test plugs be used in pressurized pipelines?
Yes, these inflatable plugs are designed to handle standard pressure testing in plumbing and municipal pipelines. The maximum safe pressure depends on the plug size and pipe material, always consult the product specifications before testing.
Are 130-0 plugs compatible with irregular or damaged pipe surfaces?
Yes, the flexible rubber construction allows the plug to conform to minor irregularities in the pipe surface. However, plugs may not seal effectively in severely corroded or broken pipes.
Are Muni Ball and Plumber plugs suitable for both horizontal and vertical pipes?
Yes, these plugs can be used in either orientation. Vertical or steeply inclined pipelines may require special handling measures to prevent movement during inflation.
