Mechanical pipe plug for 2 in pipes

The Cherne 270168 is a mechanical pipe plug designed to seal 2 in pipe sizes with an inside diameter range of 2.2 in to 2.5 in. It uses ABS plastic natural rubber reinforced with glass for a durable seal at the end of the pipe.

Replaces temporary or improvised seals

This plug upgrades from makeshift stoppers or basic caps when a reliable pressure test or temporary blockage is required. The jump is worth it when the job demands holding up to 17 psi air pressure or 40 ft of head water pressure without leakage.

Suits plumbers and contractors pressure testing

It suits professionals who need a reusable, mechanical seal for standard 2 in drain components during testing or maintenance. Buyers who need a bypass connection, a handle for retrieval, or a plug for pipe sizes outside the 2.2 in to 2.5 in range should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What pipe inside-diameter range does the 270168 mechanical plug fit?

The plug seals pipes with an inside diameter between 2.2 in and 2.5 in, matching a 2 in nominal pipe size.

How do you install the 270168 plug and what step is often missed?

Insert the plug to the end of the pipe, then tighten the mechanical expansion until the seal engages; the step often missed is verifying the seal sits fully at the pipe end before pressurising.

What pressure limits should I watch for when the 270168 plug is in service?

The plug is rated for a maximum of 17 psi air back-pressure or 40 ft of water head; exceeding either can dislodge the seal.
