Municipal Style Hydraulic Pipeline Flushers 3 1/2" to 24"

Powerful Hydraulic Force and Jet Action Flushes Pipeline Clear Quickly and Efficiently Petersen® Hydraulic Flusher design converts ordinary water into a powerful, directed force with jet action to loosen and flush pipeline. High Strength Flexible Materials Inflatable Multi-Flex™ Pipeline Flushers are made from very high strength flexible woven and non-woven materials. Multi-Size Applications Petersen® Multi-Flex™ Pipeline Flushers may be used in any pipeline larger than the deflated diameter. Light Weight Allows one person insertion for most sizes and applications. Under Water Placement Small deflated size allows removal of air for easier insertion in pipeline filled with water. Most Sizes Available Standard sizes are generally in stock up to 48" diameter with larger sizes available in just a few days. Flexibility Deflated Multi-Flex™ Pipeline Flusher easily navigates bends and small openings. Custom Configurations Custom products have been manufactured for many high temperature and severe chemical applications. Please contact a Petersen engineer to discuss your requirements.
Clear Sand & Debris Insert Flusher above debris with outlet pointed up stream Turn on water full force allowing water head build up Turn off water and remove Flusher; the released head of water clears pipeline
Clear Obstructed Sewer Insert Flusher above debris with outlet pointed down stream Turn on water full force allowing water to expand Flusher Water flow and pressure builds between Flusher and blockage clearing sewer

*Warning: When used as an inflatable plug, inflate only to 25% of the flushing perssure! Maximum head pressures that a pipe plug may restrain can only be estimated. Slippage is influenced by many factors including fluid in the pipe, coefficient of pipeline friction, pressure required to inflate the plug, and accuracy of pressure gauges. Generally, a Multi-Flex™ Inflatable Plug inserted fully into pipeline will begin slipping between 50% and 80% of the inflation pressure if it has an inflated pipe contact length of 1 ½ to 2 times the diameter, but even a head of 50% of the inflation pressure may cause slippage with some liquids. The inflation pressure is also subject to temperature change and debris or protrusions in the pipeline that could rupture the plug. The inflation pressure should be monitored and plugs anchored and/or mechanically blocked when slippage may cause property damage or injury. NEVER use a test pressure greater than the capacity of the weakest pipe or component in the system. NEVER use an inflatable plug when its failure would cause injury.
