Cherne 270210 Pipe Plug

The Cherne 270210 pipe plug seals 1 1/2 inch pipes with an inside diameter between 1.48 and 1.65 inches. It is suited for temporary pressure testing or blocking flow during maintenance on residential and light-commercial plumbing systems. The plug installs from the pipe end without requiring a bypass connection.

Wing nut and ABS plate construction

A zinc wing nut expands the ABS sealing plate against the pipe wall for a secure, tool-free fit. The 1.75 inch overall height keeps the assembly low-profile inside the pipe, while the ABS material resists corrosion from water exposure. No water fill port or hose is included, so the plug is intended for dry or hydrostatic test setups only.

Pressure ratings and back-pressure limits

The plug withstands up to 17 psi of air back pressure and 40 ft of head for water back pressure. These limits define the maximum test pressure the seal can hold without leakage. Exceeding either rating risks seal failure, so the plug should be used only within the stated pressure envelope.
