The 6" - 8" Flexible Burpable Pit Plug
A specialized component used in livestock manure management systems to seal pit drains while allowing gas pressure to escape safely.
Key Features and Functionality
- "Burpable" Innovation: Features an extended bottom that allows the plug to rise slightly under gas pressure. This releases trapped gases and then allows the plug to realign and reseal itself automatically.
- Flex Technology: Designed to be flexible to ensure a virtually leakproof seal against liquid manure, even if the pipe isn't perfectly round.
- Versatile Fit: Specifically sized to fit 6" to 8" pipes commonly found in swine and dairy facilities.
- Weighted Design: Includes a large 2" top opening that allows you to fill the plug with sand, gravel, or concrete (typically to 3/4 capacity) to provide the necessary weight for a secure seal.
- Molded Handles: Built-in upper handles simplify the process of pulling the plug when it's time to drain the pit.
