OATEY 271208 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Cherne 2 inch Sure-Grip plug fit both schedule 40 and schedule 80 pipe?
Yes. The Cherne Sure-Grip plug fits schedule 40 and schedule 80 pipe at nominal sizes, so a 2 inch nominal line is covered either way. The plug itself is sized 2 in. (50 mm) nominal.
2) Can a Cherne Sure-Grip plug be left in the line permanently, or is it test-only?
Either. The Sure-Grip is rated for use as a permanent or temporary plug, so you can pull it after the inspection or leave it in place as a line-end closure.
3) Can I convert this plug into a cleanout?
Yes, the body can be tapped for use with a cleanout cover, so a capped 2 inch stub can be finished off as an accessible cleanout instead of being cut open later.
4) What part number do I order to match the Cherne 2 inch Sure-Grip plugs already on my job?
Order Oatey/Cherne 271208. That is the 2 in. (50 mm) Sure-Grip mechanical plug, and reordering by that number keeps the whole job on one plug so crews handle them the same way.
5) What is the Cherne Sure-Grip plug made of, and will it hold up in a DWV line?
Polypropylene body with a natural rubber O-ring doing the seal. Polypropylene is chemically stable against normal drain waste, and the rubber O-ring is the wear part to inspect if the plug ever weeps on a retest.
6) Is the Cherne 2 inch Sure-Grip plug easy to spot in a rough-in so it doesn't get drywalled over?
It is yellow, which is the practical reason plumbers use these on rough-in: the plug reads at a glance during walkthrough so temporary plugs get pulled before close-in. It is also light, about 0.15, so it hangs in a stub without loading the pipe.
