ABOUT I-PURGE
• The revolutionary, patent-pending I-Purge Modular Inflatable Bladder System is the most
innovative and versatile pipe purging system available. I-Purge creates an impermeable seal to
consume the least amount of purge gas during pipe purging and welding, saving time and money,
while achieving consistent, high-quality welds.
• Manufactured in the USA, this long-term, reusable bladder system enables operators to satisfy a
myriad of purge requirements with one interchangeable solution.
• The I-Purge comes equipped with several highly advanced features such as its Quick Connect Fittings
that snap-in place and allow easy assembly and disassembly of components.
• The I-Purge also features an extended length, high heat resistant harness that allows the bladders to
be placed outside the heat affected zone and can also sufficiently accommodate any pre-heating or
high heat applications.
• These state-of-the-art features allow the operator to create multiple configurations, including
a one sided pipe stopper and a reducer. Bladders are available in sizes ranging from 2 to 48″
(51- 1219 mm) and may be purchased either individually or as a complete system, a distinct
advantage should additional sizes be desired or a component need replacing.
• Ideal for fabrication shops, the I-Purge surpasses existing technology with its advanced design and
provides the complete solution for all pipe purging needs.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
1) Inflatable Bladders Modules A & B
• Manufactured in the USA from the highest quality materials
• Inflated bladders create an impermeable, air tight seal on pipe wall
• Spark resistant, durable exterior cover
• Heavy-duty interior inflatable bag
• Re-usable, long-lasting solution for purging multiple pipes of the same diameter
2) High Heat Extended Harnesses
• Internal hose and protective external fiberglass sleeve capable of
withstanding high temperatures
• Flexible bridge harness easily navigates through pipes, including
elbows and tees over 90°
• Kink resistant hose assures continuous gas supply
• Complete with luminescent indicator for accurate alignment at
root gap
• Various lengths of harnesses are available to accommodate heat
affected zone (HAZ) during pre-heating and high heat
applications
• I-Purge sizes 36″ and greater are equipped with a high flow
harness to expedite inflation
3) Quick Connect Interchangeable Fittings
• Push-button feature enables modules to snap-in-place in seconds
• State-of-the-art technology allows for greater versatility and easy assembly – enabling the
user to create multiple configurations
• Easy change and replacement of components to avoid costly re-purchase of complete system,
with spare parts available for purchase
• Corrosion resistant proven lock mechanism for secure connection
4) Proprietary Relief Valve
• Factory pre-set relief valves allow for
precise flow rates while minimizing set-up
time and reducing gas consumption
• Aids in maintenance of optimum seal on
pipe wall
• Prevents risk of over inflation
• Low profile relief valve available on 2″ and
3″ models
5) Inert Gas Diffuser
• Patent-pending technology
• Reduces turbulence by dispersing inert gas
equally in all directions within the weld zone,
improving weld quality and consistency
6) Tri-Flow Inner Tubing System (BLUE, BLACK & WHITE Hoses)
• Multiple inlet/exhaust ports for faster, more efficient purging
Separate Connections:
• BLUE – Inflation of Bladders
Initial function is to inflate bladders then flood weld zone with noble gas
• BLACK – Increase Gas Distribution Within Weld Zone
Designed to expedite purging, the secondary (BLACK) purge hose is used to flood the weld zone
with inert gas and evacuate oxygen at a faster rate
• WHITE – Exhaust Connection
Connect this hose to an Oxygen Monitor, such as Aquasol’s PRO OX®-100 that obtains readings
down to 100 PPM (0.01%), for continuous or spot monitoring of oxygen in the weld zone

7) Pull Loops
• Strong pull loops can be connected to a rope
or chain to insert or remove the I-Purge
• It is important that bladders be deflated
before insertion or removal
• Moderate tension (approx. 5 lbs.) should be
applied on pull-wires to prevent sagging of
the harness during installation and operation
8) Carrying Bag
• When welding is complete, bladders can be
deflated, extracted, cleaned and stored in
the provided carrying bag
• Carrying bag protects the bladder when not
in use from dust and debris in most
industrial work environments, prolonging
life
9) I-Purge Reducer
• Unlike other models with permanent
fittings, a pipe reducer can be easily created
by simply connecting two bladders of
different, yet similar diameters
• Combine different sizes to create unique
pipe configurations
10) I-Purge Isolator Inflatable Pipe Stopper & Single Purge Bladder
• The I-Purge Isolator is designed to function as
a pipe plug for a wide range of applications,
including purging of valves or tanks, as well as
non-purging applications such as pipe system
sealing for servicing, cleaning and inspection
• Constructed of heavy-duty materials
designed to withstand the extreme
conditions of the petrochemical, utility and
construction industries
