OATEY 268028 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size does the Cherne Iron Grip bypass plug 268028 fit?
It's a 2 inch nominal plug (50 mm), sized to seat inside 2 inch pipe. Model number is 268028.
2) How much head pressure can a 2 inch Cherne Iron Grip bypass plug hold on a DWV test?
Rated to 13 psi (0.9 bar), which works out to 30 feet (9.1 m) of water column back pressure. That covers a typical two to three story stack test, but if your column of water is taller than 30 feet, step down the plug location or test in sections.
3) What is the bypass connection on the Cherne 268028 plug, and what can I hook to it?
The bypass is a 3/8 inch male thread. It gives you a port to bleed off pressure before you pull the plug, or to run a gauge or hose line off the test. Any 3/8 inch female fitting mates to it.
4) Do I need a bypass plug or will a plain test plug do?
If you only need to seal and then drain the line at the cleanout, a plain plug is enough. The bypass version exists so you can relieve the water or air pressure in a controlled way before breaking the seal, which matters when there's a full stack sitting on top of the plug. With 30 feet of head behind a plain plug, pulling it is messy and dangerous.
5) Can a Cherne Iron Grip plug be left in the line permanently?
Yes. The cast iron Iron Grip plug is built to serve as either a temporary test plug or a permanent plug, so you can leave it in a line you don't intend to reopen.
6) Is the Cherne 268028 plug metal or rubber?
Cast iron body, finished black. That's a different animal from an inflatable or mechanical rubber plug: the iron grip style is economical and rugged, and it holds up to being left in place rather than just set for a test and pulled.
