An improved plug device for sealing an internal tubular passageway in a predetermined location against pressure and flow applied from one side. The plug is selectively inserted and retrieved from the tubular passageway using an installation tool. The plug has an elastomeric seal and multiple latch dogs that reciprocate in an axial direction to engage or not engage the tubular passageway. An elastomeric seal of the plug is manipulated to cause it to recess during the installation and retrieval of the plug device to minimize scuffing the seal. Multiple latch dogs housed in the plug are radially moved outward to engage a prepared internal groove in the tubular passageway, then the elastomeric seal is relaxed to bias against the interior of the bore of the tubular passageway. The plug is easily installed and removed by robots or remote manipulators.
