Nylon Airbag
NY Grey 4
Nylon airbags are designed to go through restricted openings measuring about 1/4 of the nominal pipe diameter or less. For use in non and low-pressure water and wastewater situations, where a temporary restriction and flow stop is required. Typical applications are domestic sanitary pipes, soil pipes and sewer pipes.
- It is manufactured from a natural rubber bladder and covered in grey-proofed nylon.
- It is produced in cylindrical and spherical shapes.
- Standard range 1″-15″ (25mm-375mm). Available with Schrader valve as standard or brass cock as an extra
- Standard range 16″-96″ (400mm-2400mm). They are supplied complete with a ball valve.
- We can also supply a Nylon Bag c/w Centre Hole.

Understanding Wastewater Treatment: Essential for a Sustainable Future
Wastewater treatment is crucial in managing our water resources safely and efficiently. With growing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable practices, understanding how we treat wastewater is more critical than ever. Flowstopping wastewater is a common practice made easier when using the nylon airbag that Flowstop manufactures.What is Wastewater?
Wastewater includes any water that we have used and that has been contaminated through various activities. This covers water from households (like sinks, showers, and toilets), industrial processes, and stormwater runoff. Without proper treatment, wastewater can carry harmful pollutants, chemicals, and pathogens into our natural water bodies, posing severe risks to public health and the environment. The Wastewater Treatment Process The treatment of wastewater involves several key stages, each aimed at removing specific contaminants:- Preliminary Treatment: In this first stage, we remove large solids and debris, such as sticks, rags, and plastic materials, which can damage equipment or interfere with later processes.
- Primary Treatment: Next, sedimentation tanks allow heavier solids to settle at the bottom while oils and greases float to the surface. We then remove the settled sludge and floating materials.
- Secondary Treatment: During this biological process, microorganisms break down organic matter in the wastewater. Standard methods include activated sludge systems and trickling filters, effectively reducing the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids.
- Tertiary Treatment: In the final stage, advanced filtration, chemical treatments, or disinfection remove remaining contaminants and pathogens. This step ensures that the treated water meets safety standards before we release it into the environment or reuse it.
