XABLD 8-12 - 8-12 Inch Inflatable Double Seal Pipe Purge System

Get Clean Roots Fast with the X-Expendable Purge System

If you're welding stainless or chrome pipe, you know that a bad purge means a bad weld. Sugaring on the root pass is a nightmare to fix and can fail an X-ray test instantly. The X-Expendable Double Bladder Purge Bag System (8"-12") is built to make sure that never happens. This isn't just a couple of balloons; it's a tough, heat-resistant rig designed to seal off the weld zone tight so you can fill it with Argon and get to welding.

This system fits any pipe from 8 inches up to 12 inches. The 'Double Bladder' design means you have a dam on both sides of the weld joint, creating a small, sealed pocket. Because you aren't trying to purge the entire length of the pipe run, you save a ton of gas and, more importantly, a ton of time waiting for the oxygen levels to drop. Just slide it in, inflate it, and you're ready to go. The material is built to take the heat, so you don't have to worry about it melting if it gets a little warm near the joint.

Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, this tool is a lifesaver. It's flexible enough to go around elbows, so you can position it exactly where you need it. Stop messing around with cardboard dams or tape that peels off. Grab the X-Expendable system, get a perfect seal, and lay down that slick root pass you're known for.
