OATEY 271508 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Cherne Clean-Seal plug seal a cast iron cleanout, or only plastic?
Both. The Cherne Clean-Seal plug seals plastic cleanouts and the hard to seal cast iron threaded cleanouts, because the seal comes from an inflated natural rubber body rather than matching the thread form. The ABS threads carry the handling abuse; the rubber does the sealing.
2) What size pipe does the Oatey 271508 Clean-Seal plug fit?
It is the 1-1/2 in. (40 mm) nominal size. Deflated, the plug body measures 1.5 in. (38 mm) diameter and 4.75 in. (121 mm) long, so it drops into a 1-1/2 inch cleanout or line before you inflate it.
3) How much head pressure can a 1-1/2 in. Clean-Seal test plug hold back?
Up to 13 psi (0,9 bar), which is 30 ft. (9.1 M) of water head. If your test column is taller than 30 feet above the plug, this one is undersized for the job and you need a plug rated for higher back pressure.
4) What pressure do I inflate the Cherne test plug to, and what fitting does the air hose need?
Inflate to 30 psi (2,1 bar) and no higher. The inflation valve fitting is a 1/8 in. thread, so your test pump or air line needs to match that. The valve fitting is removable and field repairable, so a damaged valve does not scrap the plug.
5) Why use a Clean-Seal plug instead of a standard threaded cleanout plug for testing?
A threaded plug has to be cut or wrenched out and dumps whatever is standing behind it. The Clean-Seal inflates into place and its plug design keeps the work area and the plumber dry with no backsplash when it is released, which is what you want on an occupied building or a finished space.
6) Is the Oatey 271508 reusable on more than one test?
Yes. It is a mechanical test plug built for repeat use: high-impact ABS threads for durability and an inflation valve fitting that can be removed and repaired in the field rather than replaced as an assembly. Note it is a single item weighing 0.2, ordered as model 271508.
