LINE STOPPING OVERVIEW
Line Stopping is a means of temporarily inserting a plugging device to shut off the flow of an in-service piping system. Line Stopping can be used to isolate sections of pipe for repair, maintenance, or reconfiguration such as adding valves or replacing inoperable valves. If used with a bypass, work can be performed without service interruptions.
