OATEY 268128 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Cherne 12 inch Iron Grip bypass plug fit?
It's sized for 12 inch nominal pipe (304.80 mm). Cherne Iron Grip plugs seat inside the pipe end, so the 12 inch call-out is the inside line size you're plugging, not an outside measurement.
2) How much head of water will a 2.6 PSI Cherne Iron Grip plug hold?
Rated to 2.6 psi (0.18 bar) back pressure, which is 6 feet (1.8 m) of water head. That's the working limit for a drain or sewer line test, so if your test stack is taller than 6 feet above the plug, this one is under-rated for the job.
3) Why choose a bypass plug instead of a solid test plug on a 12 inch line?
A solid plug dead-ends the pipe, and on a big line that means you're breaking a plug loose with head behind it. The bypass gives you a 1 inch male port so you can relieve pressure in a controlled way, or keep flow moving through the line while work goes on upstream. On a 12 inch sewer carrying active flow, that port is usually the deciding feature.
4) Can the Cherne Iron Grip plug be left in the line permanently?
Yes. Oatey lists it for either temporary or permanent use, which is what the cast iron body buys you over a rubber inflatable. Municipal and institutional crews use these to cap an abandoned 12 inch lateral and leave it there.
