10-inch Aluminium Mechanical Pipe Plug
The Cherne 272914 is a mechanical pipe plug designed to seal 10-inch diameter pipes during testing or maintenance. It fits pipe inside diameters ranging from 9.8 in to 10.3 in using an expandable aluminium plate and zinc-plated steel handle mechanism.
Suitable for pressure testing
This plug suits contractors and maintenance crews needing a reusable seal for 10-inch lines at moderate pressures. It is not suited for applications exceeding 10 psi air pressure or 23 ft of water head, nor for pipes outside the stated diameter range.
Maximum back pressure ratings define safe use
The plug withstands a maximum of 10 psi air back pressure and 23 ft of water head. Exceeding these limits risks seal failure, so verify system test pressures against these ratings before installation.

Questions about this item
Which size of the Cherne 272914 mechanical pipe plug fits my 10-inch pipe?
This model is built for a 10-inch nominal pipe size and seals inside diameters from 9.8 inches up to 10.3 inches.
What does the 10 psi air back-pressure rating mean when the plug is installed?
It indicates the plug will hold a maximum of 10 psi of air pressure from behind the seal during a test.
How does the zinc-plated steel handle affect the plug's pressure limits?
The handle material does not change the rated limits; the plug still tops out at 10 psi air or 23 feet of water head.
