Wastewater volume activated flushing system

Inflatable pipe plug

Inflatable pipe plugs provide a method of surge flushing that can be easily installed and used. They can be installed in the manhole shaft without major structural modifications [FI-HST].

During a dry weather spell, the plug is rolled up and stored in the manhole above the sewer flow.
