OATEY 271543 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Cherne 4 inch Econ-O-Grip plug be used for a pressure test on a DWV line?
No. The Econ-O-Grip plug is not recommended for pressure tests. It is rated to only 2 psi (0,14 bar) back pressure, which works out to about 5 feet of water head. For a real DWV water column test you need a test ball or a mechanical test plug rated for the head you are holding. The Econ-O-Grip is for sealing off and dust covering an open pipe end.
2) How does the Econ-O-Grip plug seal in the pipe?
Sealing is done by a natural rubber O-ring on a metal body. You set the plug in the pipe end and the O-ring grips and seals against the pipe wall. Because the seal is a single O-ring rather than a long expanding sleeve, it holds low back pressure only, 2 psi.
3) Is this plug suitable for keeping construction debris out of a rough-in drain line?
Yes, that is the main job. The Econ-O-Grip is called out as an effective pipe dust cover, so it caps a 4 inch rough-in during framing, drywall and concrete work to keep dust and debris out of the line. Just don't rely on it for a head test.
4) Is the Cherne Econ-O-Grip plug metal or plastic, and will it hold up to reuse on a jobsite?
The body is metal with a natural rubber O-ring, so it is reusable rather than a throwaway plastic cap. The O-ring is the wear item, keep it clean and free of grit so it still seats on the next use.
