OATEY 272965 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What pipe sizes and materials does the Cherne 10 inch T-Handle Gripper plug fit?
The Cherne 10 inch Gripper plug is sized for 10 in. (250 mm) nominal pipe. In the 6 in. through 12 in. range, these Gripper plugs are sized for concrete, clay, and SDR 26 and 35 pipe. The larger 15 in. and 18 in. plugs are built for concrete and clay pipe only, so if you are plugging PVC sewer pipe in the 10 inch range, this is the right size band.
2) How much head pressure can a Cherne 10 inch Gripper test plug hold?
Rated to 10 psi (0,7 bar) of back pressure, which works out to 23 ft. (10 M) of water head. If your test column is taller than 23 feet, this plug is not the one for that test.
3) What is the 3/4 inch bypass on this test plug used for?
The bypass is a 3/4 in. male threaded port running through the plug body. It lets you fill the line, bleed off air, or drain the test water without pulling the plug out of the pipe. You connect a hose or a riser to it with standard 3/4 in. female fittings. Cherne Gripper plugs are sold with or without a bypass; the 272965 is the bypass version.
4) Can a Cherne Gripper plug be left in the pipe long term, or is it test only?
Gripper plugs can be used in long-term applications, not just a quick pressure test. The seal is a chemical-resistant neoprene O-ring, and the body is heavy-duty aluminum, which is why it holds up to sitting in a sewer line rather than being pulled the same day.
5) Is a mechanical T-handle plug better than an inflatable test ball for a 10 inch sewer line?
A mechanical Gripper plug like the 10 inch T-handle tightens by turning the handle, compressing a neoprene O-ring against the pipe wall. No air source, no gauge, nothing to deflate if a hose gets kicked loose, and it is rated for long-term placement. It is size-specific though, so it only works in 10 in. pipe of the listed materials, where an inflatable ball covers a range. For a repeat test on a known 10 inch line, the mechanical plug is the simpler tool.
6) How heavy is the 10 inch Cherne Gripper plug to set in a manhole or trench?
It weighs 12.5 pounds. That is a one-hand carry but a two-hand set at depth, and worth knowing before you plan a manhole entry or rig a rope to it. The weight comes from the aluminum body.
7) What is the Oatey part number for the 10 inch Cherne T-handle plug with bypass?
Order Oatey 272965. That is the Cherne 10 in. T-Handle Gripper plug with the 3/4 in. male bypass. The no-bypass version of the same plug is a different part, so specify the bypass if you need the fill and drain port.
