Mechanical pipe plug for 8 in sewer testing
The Cherne 270270 is a mechanical pipe plug built for end-of-pipe sewer testing and long-term installations. It fits nominal 8 in pipe with an inside diameter between 7.7 in and 8.03 in. The body combines ABS plastic and rubber for a positive seal in cast iron, clay or plastic pipe.
Deflated profile for access and sealing
When deflated the plug measures 3.75 in long by 7.75 in diameter, allowing it to pass through clean-out openings before expanding to grip the pipe wall. It holds up to 17 psi of back air pressure or 40 ft of head pressure, freeing the installer from external bracing or temporary bulkheads during pressure tests.
No bundled accessories or software included
The product ships as the plug assembly only; no inflation hose, pressure gauge or control fittings are supplied. Installers must provide their own mechanical expansion tools and test equipment to complete the setup.
