In its spillage containment role the TelestopperTM is ideal for use on sites where the risk of frequency of spills is low, the drains are accessible and the materials are classified as low hazard. In flood control the TelestopperTM  can be used to block toilets bowls and drains where backflow is a real risk to properties.

Supplied either loose or in an emergency call point type enclosure, with a break glass to open key box, the Telestopper/sTM become your first line of defence in the event of a spill.

Normal practice is to lift the lid of the drain, insert the TelestoppersTM bladder into the outlet pipe using the telescopic handle and inflate. If there are more than one drain on site this process should be repeated for each drain at risk from the spill, and remember, corrugated and even distorted pitch fibre pipes can be sealed off using the TelestoppersTM highly flexible bladder!

The Industrial TelestopperTM can cater for drain outlets ranging from 4" (10cm) to 18" (450cm) diameter. Larger sizes are available to special order.

To the right  is a photograph of a deployed TelestopperTM sealing off a 12" (30 cm) diameter drain to prevent a spill from entering a drainage ditch. In this example, the drain is sealed at the outlet rather than inlet. This has the advantage of increasing the capacity of the "containment vessel created" to perhaps a 1000 x that of a standard spill kit.
