Mechanical Pipe Plug for 6 in Pipes

The Cherne 273368 is a mechanical pipe plug designed to seal 6 in pipes during testing or maintenance. It fits pipe inside diameters from 5.62 in to 6.4 in and uses chemical resistant nitrile rubber with stainless steel components. The overall height is 3.19 in.

Sealing Range for 6 in Pipe

The single specification that decides fit is the sealing range of 5.62 in to 6.4 in inside diameter. This plug is built for 6 in nominal pipe size and relies on mechanical expansion to create the seal. Maximum back pressure ratings are 1 psi for air and 2 ft of head for water.

For Technicians Testing 6 in Lines

This plug suits technicians who need to block 6 in pipe for pressure testing or temporary isolation within the stated pressure limits. It is not for pipelines outside the 5.62 in to 6.4 in ID range, nor for applications exceeding the low back pressure ratings. Buyers who need larger diameters or higher pressure holding should look at other equipment.

Questions about this item

What does the 6.4 in maximum inside diameter mean when I install the 273368 plug?

It sets the largest pipe bore the plug can seal; the rubber expands to grip any pipe with an inside diameter up to 6.4 in.

What does the 1 psi air back-pressure rating cap in practice?

It limits the plug to very low-pressure air tests; it will not hold higher air pressure or standard water pressure heads.

What does the 3.19 in overall height require for fitting?

You need at least 3.19 in of clear pipe length to fully insert and expand the plug.
