 TM 55-1915-200-SDC
k. Blanking lines. Ruptured pipe lines often are a menace because they cannot readily be isolated and continue to
perform a vital function within the piping system. In the case of firemains, the choice may lie between flooding a
compartment or extinguishing a fire. Frequently, in the case of oil lines, important and undamaged machinery must be
secured. Such problems have been solved by blanking off part of the pipe line. Low-pressure pipe lines often can be
blanked by driving wooden plugs covered with cloth. Unsupported, these plugs have a tendency to back out. Adequate
support generally can be provided by using shores or jacks, or by drilling a hole through the pipe and pinning the plug in
place. For frayed ends of pipe cut by fragments, combinations of plugs may be desirable. When the damaged pipe is
joined by screw fittings, it is a simple matter to unscrew the damaged part and to stop the flow of fluid by means of a pipe
cap or a pipe plug.
