Test Ball Plug Specifications

The Cherne 270108 is a pneumatic test plug designed for sealing pipe interiors during pressure testing. It features a textured body surface and a tire valve air connection for inflation. The unit includes a head tether with ring and chain for secure handling and retrieval.

Fit Range and Limitations

This plug suits pipes with an inside diameter between 2.34 in and 2.75 in, corresponding to a maximum nominal pipe size of 2 1/2 in. It will not seal pipes smaller than the minimum diameter or larger than the maximum stated size. Installers needing a bypass connection or a different tether style must select another model.

Deflated Dimensions

The plug measures 2.3 in deflated diameter and 4.5 in deflated length, allowing insertion through cleanouts and tight openings before inflation. These collapsed dimensions determine whether the plug can reach the test location inside the pipe run.

Questions about this item

Does the Cherne 270108 test ball plug come with the ring and chain attached, or must they be purchased separately?

The plug includes a head tether connection with ring and chain already fitted, so no separate tether parts are required.

Which pipe size should I match to the 2.34 in minimum and 2.75 in maximum inside diameter range?

Choose this plug when the pipe inside diameter falls between 2.34 in and 2.75 in; it is rated for a maximum pipe size of 2 1/2 in.

What does the 4.5 in deflated length mean when the plug is inserted into a pipe?

The plug measures 4.5 in long in its deflated state, allowing it to pass through the opening before inflation seals the 2.3 in deflated diameter against the pipe wall.
