Pipe closure device with opposing dual mandrels has external conical surfaces which cooperate with internal conical surfaces of segmented rigid wall engagement member. Rotation of threaded shaft causes relative axial movement of dual mandrels and effects outward radial motion of rigid wall engagement members and outward motion of elastomeric seal, securing device to wall of pipe and sealing pipe closed. Rotation of shaft in opposite direction releases elastomeric seal and rigid wall engagement members from pipe wall. Inflatable seal seals against inside wall of pipe when inflated. Shaft is rotated by air-powered motor which is insertable and attachable into sealed receiver without use of tools.
