OATEY 272957 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the bypass on the 272957 Cherne plug for, and what thread size is it?
The bypass is a 3/4 in. male connection through the center of the plug. It lets you run flow, a hose, or a test line through the plug while it stays set, so you can fill the line for a water test, bleed off pressure before pulling the plug, or keep upstream flow moving during a long-term bypass. Cherne also builds this Gripper plug without the bypass if you only need a straight seal.
2) Can a mechanical test plug be left in the line for weeks, or is it test-only?
The Cherne Gripper plug is built for long-term applications, not just a one-day test. The body is heavy-duty aluminum with a zinc plated steel T-handle, and the seal is a chemical-resistant neoprene O-ring, so it holds up sitting in a sewer line. Inflatable bag plugs are the ones that lose pressure over time; a mechanical gripper does not.
3) How heavy is the 8 inch Cherne gripper plug for lowering into a manhole?
It weighs 9.188 lb., light enough for one person to set on a rope but heavy enough that you want a tether on it in a manhole. Volume is listed at 0.309.
4) What is the Oatey part number for the 8 inch Cherne T-handle plug with bypass?
Order model 272957. That is the Cherne 8 in. T-Handle Gripper plug with the 3/4 in. bypass; the same Gripper plug is also built without a bypass, so confirm you are calling out the bypass version if you need to run a line through it.
