Cherne 270538 3 Inch Pipe Plug

This Cherne 270538 pipe plug fits 3 inch pipes with an inside diameter between 3.44 and 3.53 inches. It provides a temporary seal for testing or blocking flow in drainage systems. The plug uses a wing nut mechanism for manual tightening and has an overall height of 2.4 inches.

Hand-Tightened Wing Nut Installation

The zinc wing nut allows tool-free expansion of the ABS sealing plate inside the pipe. Ensure the pipe inside diameter falls within the 3.44 to 3.53 inch range before inserting the plug. Over-tightening can damage the plate or the pipe wall. The plug has no bypass connection or water fill port included.

Suited for Low-Pressure Drain Testing

This plug suits maintenance crews and plumbers performing low-pressure air tests up to 13 psi or water head tests up to 30 feet. It is not for permanent installation or high-pressure applications. Buyers needing a bypass port or a padlock shackle hole should look at other models.
