OATEY 268108 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the bypass connection on the Cherne Iron Grip bypass plug, and what do I hook to it?
The bypass is a 1/2 inch male thread, so it takes a 1/2 inch female fitting, hose adapter, gauge or valve. The bypass is what lets you relieve pressure or drain the column before you pull the plug out, instead of fighting a head of water.
2) Can a Cherne Iron Grip plug be left in the line permanently?
Yes. The Iron Grip can serve as a temporary test plug or be left in as a permanent plug, which is why the cast iron body is used rather than a rubber-and-plate mechanical plug meant only for testing.
3) Should I use a bypass plug or a plain test plug for a 10 inch stack test?
Pick the bypass version when you need to drain or relieve the column under control. With the 1/2 inch male bypass you can tee in a gauge or run off the water before breaking the seal; a plain plug has to be cracked loose with the full 8 foot head still behind it. For a short, low-head test where you can dump the water elsewhere, the plain plug is fine.
4) Is the 10 inch Iron Grip bypass plug a one-man lift?
It weighs 17.6 pounds, so plan on handling it from a stable footing. At that weight in a 10 inch line it is awkward to set from a ladder or down a manhole on your own, and the cast iron body will not flex to help you.
5) What is the Cherne 268108 made of, and will it hold up in a sewer or DWV line?
Cast iron body with a black finish. Metal construction is what lets it double as a permanent plug in drain, waste and vent or sewer work, where a rubber ball or pneumatic plug would only be a test-day item.
