 About Safety Duct Plug

The Safety DuctPlug is a very tough assembly, both abrasion

and puncture resistant. While its primary function is to serve as a
temporary safety barrier against falling debris to protect those
working below, it is not intended to be "load bearing”.

If material falls onto the Safety DuctPlug from above, especially
any substantial amount, workers should be immediately
evacuated from underneath and then once everyone is safely out
of the way, the Safety DuctPlug should be gradually emptied of
air sufficient to allow the debris to fall harmlessly below. The
Safety DuctPlug can then be re-inflated quickly and work safely
resumed.

 How to use it……

The device is intended to be connected to the compressed air

supply of the plant in which it is used

Only 5 psi internal pressure is required to fully inflate and hold the
Duct Plug in place. Note that the Duct Plug does not have to be
inflated to the point of being rigid to be effective - only inflate it
sufficiently to hold it in place. The air supply should be left attached
in case additional air is required.

When you are ready to remove the Safety Duct Plug, simply
disconnect the air supply, release the air release (dump) valve, and
allow the Duct Plug to deflate sufficiently in order to remove it from
its location. Once removed, fully deflate it and fold it up for
storage.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER INFLATE. Damage could

result to the unit.
