OATEY 271551 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Cherne 5 in. Econ-O-Grip plug for a pressure test on a DWV line?
No. The Econ-O-Grip plug is not recommended for pressure tests. It's rated for a maximum back pressure of 1 psi (0.07 bar), equal to about 2 ft (0.7 M) of head. If you're running a head test up a stack or holding real pressure, you need a mechanical test plug rated for that column height instead.
2) What is the Cherne Econ-O-Grip plug made of, and will the seal hold up in a dirty pipe?
The plug body is metal, with a natural rubber O-ring doing the sealing. The O-ring is what grips the pipe wall, so wipe the inside of the pipe clean where it seats. Grit or a rough cast iron hub under the O-ring is the usual reason one of these weeps.
3) What part number do I order for the 5 inch Cherne Econ-O-Grip plug?
Oatey manufacturer part number 271551. That's the 5 in. Cherne Econ-O-Grip plug, and it's a single configuration, so there's no finish, end connection or option code to specify with it.
4) How heavy is the Oatey 271551 5 in. plug?
About 1.1 lbs, with a shipping volume of 0.022. Light enough to carry a handful of them on a rough-in, which is how most crews buy them when capping multiple 5 in. openings on the same job.
