off pipes with hydrocarbon gases and liquids
inside.
The Pipestoppers® Division at Huntingdon Fusion
Techniques HFT® design and manufacture a
range of Mechanical and Inflatable Pipestoppers®
and Plugs to suit every application. Their newest
addition to the Inflatable Pipestoppers® Range
is the Pancake Stopper, for applications where
insufficient length of pipe is available for the
regular Cylindrical or Spherical Stopper. Ron
Sewell, Chairman at HFT® said: “With their low
profile, the Pancake Stopper can fit into a pipe end
that may be directly on an elbow or just inside
a flanged neck on a casting. Other applications
include blocking pipe ends to keep gases inside or
to keep debris and vermin out.

Inflatable Rubber Plugs: a wide diameter
range and are tough, durable, can withstand
chemicals and hydrocarbons, for higherpressure applications, with a long life.
The Pipestoppers® Division also manufactures
a range of Mechanical Stoppers and Plugs for
industrial and domestic plumbing operations,
water drainage systems as well as offshore
operations. These Mechanical Stoppers are
negatively buoyant for sub-sea work and can be
used in all kinds of pipes and other vessels where
there are orifices to be sealed or blocked.
The Pipestoppers™ Division of HFT® also provide
Pipe Freezing Systems that make ice plugs
inside pipes, to stop the flow of liquids so that
maintenance can be carried out on valves, etc.
This technique avoids the draining of a complete
pipe system t
