OATEY 269883 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Cherne Kwik 'n Sure 1-1/4 in. test plug fit a 1-1/4 inch stub-out?
Yes. The Cherne Kwik 'n Sure mechanical test plug is sized at 1.25 in. (35 mm) nominal, so it seats in 1-1/4 inch pipe. Nominal size on a test plug refers to the pipe it plugs, not the body diameter, so match it to the pipe ID you are sealing and not to an outside measurement.
2) How much pressure can the Cherne 269883 test plug hold?
Rated to 112 psi (7,7 bar) of back pressure, which works out to 258 ft. (77 M) of water head. That covers a standard water line pressure test on a stub-out and a full head test on a tall stack riser.
3) Is the 1-1/4 in. Kwik 'n Sure plug tightened with a wing nut or a hex nut?
Wing nut. Cherne puts the wing nut on the .39 in. to 1.25 in. sizes, so the 1-1/4 in. plug tightens by hand with no wrench. The 1.5 in. through 5 in. sizes switch to a hex nut. If you are plugging a run of small stub-outs and want to set and pull them without a tool in your other hand, the wing nut sizes are the ones you want.
4) What seals the Cherne Kwik 'n Sure plug, and will it hold up to repeated use?
A natural rubber O-ring does the sealing. Natural rubber expands under compression and recovers its shape after release, so the plug can be set, pulled, and reset across multiple stub-outs rather than being a one-test item. The body hardware is metal.
5) What is a Kwik 'n Sure plug used for on a plumbing rough-in?
Plugging water line stub-outs. On a rough-in, the branch lines get stubbed out at the fixture locations and have to be capped before the system is charged and pressure tested. The Kwik 'n Sure drops into the open stub, tightens with the wing nut to expand the O-ring against the pipe wall, and holds while the test runs, then comes back out when the fixtures go on. It is a mechanical test plug, not a permanent cap.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the 1-1/4 in. Cherne Kwik 'n Sure plug?
Oatey part number 269883 is the Cherne Kwik 'n Sure mechanical test plug in the 1.25 in. (35 mm) size. Cherne builds the Kwik 'n Sure in a range from .39 in. up to 5 in., so quote the number against the pipe size you need rather than the series name alone.
7) How many Cherne 269883 plugs can I carry on a truck or in a test kit?
Each 1-1/4 in. Kwik 'n Sure plug weighs 0.2 and takes 0.01 in volume, so a full set of stub-out plugs for a multi-unit rough-in adds almost nothing to the kit. Property maintenance crews and plumbers standardizing across a building typically stock several of each nominal size rather than one.
