Product Information
Full details
The Monument Pro Air Bag (2290C) is a professional-grade tool designed for plumbers and contractors who need a reliable way to seal 100mm (4in) pipes during testing or maintenance. This durable, flexible plug ensures a secure seal through integrated peripheral ribs, providing peace of mind during pressure testing. While it offers excellent grip and ease of use, it requires a specific pump (MON1308) for proper inflation and should strictly adhere to the maximum pressure limits to avoid failure.

FAQs
What is the maximum pressure for this air bag?
The maximum inflation pressure is 0.59 bar or 8.5 psi.
Can I use any pump to inflate this plug?
It is intended for use with the MON1308 pump to ensure compatibility with the feed hose system.
Will this work in non-standard pipe sizes?
No, this plug is specifically sized for 100mm (4in) pipes and will not provide a safe seal in other sizes.
How do I release the air from the bag?
Use the Schrader valve at the end of the feed hose to release pressure safely before removing the plug.
What should I do if the plug is punctured?
Do not attempt to patch the air bag. Replace the unit, as a compromised bag cannot hold pressure safely during testing.
Troubleshooting
Air bag fails to hold pressure.
Inspect the feed hose for punctures and ensure the Schrader valve is tightened correctly and free of debris.
Plug slides out of the pipe during testing.
Ensure the pipe interior is clean. If the surface is greasy or wet, wipe it down. Increase inflation pressure slightly, but never exceed the 0.59 bar limit.
Difficulty inflating.
Check the connection between the MON1308 pump and the Schrader valve. Ensure the valve core is not depressed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the plug, ensure the pipe interior is clean and free of sharp debris that could puncture the bag. Connect the feed hose to your MON1308 pump and slowly inflate the air bag until it is firmly seated against the pipe walls; do not exceed 0.59 bar (8.5 psi). This tool is compatible with professional Monument drain testing equipment. For maintenance, wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth after each use to remove pipe silt or grease. Inspect the hose and valve for cracks or debris before each deployment. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature rubber degradation.
